Into the Half Moon is the debut studio album by American alternative metal band 10 Years, independently released on August 13, 2001.

Background

This is the only 10 Years release to feature original vocalist Mike Underdown, who left the band in 2002. The album is not listed on the band's official website, [1] with some considering this earlier incarnation of 10 Years to be a different band. Guitarist Matt Wantland stated "We did start the band in 1999. The original people who in the band were me, Tater [Ryan Johnson] the guitar player, Brian [Vodinh] the drummer, a different singer for a few years, Mike [Underdown], and Lewis [Cosby], who plays bass. It was probably 2002 when Jesse joined the band, so I guess some people look at that like the full creation of 10 Years but we’ve been doing it for a little over a decade now." [2] The album name comes from a poem on the inside of the booklet.

Music and lyrics

The album features screamed vocals, in contrast to most of the band's later releases with singer Jesse Hasek.

The song "When Will You Breathe?" was written and performed by drummer Brian Vodinh. "Dragonfaith" was written and performed by Mike Underdown.
