Isla De Muerta is the twelfth studio album by the melodic hard rock band Ten, released on 20 May 2015 by Rocktopia Records. The album is named after the mythical "Island Of The Dead" from pirate legend. The album's cover was illustrated by Gaetano Di Falco.^[16] The band has released two singles (and lyric videos) from the album, for "Tell Me What To Do" and "This Love".

The song "The Dragon And Saint George" is based on the legend of Saint George slaying the dragon and saving the city of Silene. "Revolution" is a recounting of the story of the French Revolution.

The album cover was illustrated by Gaetano Di Falco, who also illustrated the cover of the band's previous studio album Albion.
