History

The band initially formed in 2020 when vocalist Aaron Matts wanted to do "something, really heavy and dark" and "stupid heavy" in comparison to his other band, Betraying The Martyrs. He would eventually leave that band in 2021 to focus on ten56. fully.

Before coming up with the name ten56., taken from the US police code "10-56" which typically signifies a suicide or suicide attempt, Matts wanted the band to be called Downer, but ultimately decided against it upon coming across an Australian rapper using the same alias.

In April 2021, they released their debut track "Diazepam". Later that year, they released their debut EP Downer: Part 1.^[1][3] They released their second EP, Downer: Part 2, in January 2023.^[4] In September 2024, they released the single "Still Cursed" with deathcore band Cabal.^[5]
