Massachusetts heavy music outfit FROM UNDER CONCRETE KINGS will release their new EP, Impulse Tension, on August 25, 2026 via Do Work Productions. The band has also shared the new single “Covert Cadaver,” accompanied by a striking music video.
Drawing from chaos, melody, grief, betrayal, and spiritual reckoning, Impulse Tension marks the fourth release from FROM UNDER CONCRETE KINGS and finds the band pushing further into the volatile heaviness and haunting melodic tension that have shaped their sound since 2018.
The EP features Joseph Izayea on lyrics and vocals, Josh Previte on bass, guitar, and vocals, Eric Sheppard on drums, and Alicia Marinelli on guitar. Produced by Josh Previte and Joseph Izayea, Impulse Tension was recorded at Galactic Summit, Linwood Park Studios, and The DoWorkshop. The EP was engineered by Chris Daniele and Josh Previte, with mixing and mastering handled by Chris Daniele.
Speaking on the release, Joseph Izayea shares:
“I’m tremendously excited to announce the release of the third FROM UNDER CONCRETE KINGS record, Impulse Tension. A ton of work and passion went into these songs, speaking on some of the darkest points of my life so far, and this is arguably the best work we’ve ever done as a unit. We brought in some seriously talented friends of ours to make this the very best it could be, and we are extremely grateful to finally show you what we’ve brought to bear. We hope you enjoy it!”
Ahead of the EP, FROM UNDER CONCRETE KINGS have released “Covert Cadaver,” a brooding and emotionally volatile track that arrives with an official music video. The song closes Impulse Tension with a shifting storm of sorrow, hope, despair, grief, anger, judgment, acceptance, disbelief, and confusion.
Izayea adds:
“I’m stoked to announce the release of our new music video for the track “Covert Cadaver,” dropping ahead of our new album Impulse Tension exclusively on YouTube. We had so much fun working with the Reel58 team at the Broken Chains Biker Church, which I never even knew existed until we put this together, and we’re pumped or this record to see the light of day. Get into it!”
Impulse Tension Track Listing:

About FROM UNDER CONCRETE KINGS:
FROM UNDER CONCRETE KINGS began with the growing musical chemistry between Josh Previte and Joseph Izayea, who had spent years together in the heavy music scene across projects including CITY OF HOMES, TO DIE THIS NIGHT, and STRUCTURE FAILS. After multiple releases and limited touring under other banners, the pair launched FROM UNDER CONCRETE KINGS as a new collaborative outlet driven by their shared creative direction.
The band’s debut EP, Your Occlusion Unbound, arrived in 2018, followed by Modus Exodus in 2020. Since then, the members have continued to expand their creative reach through projects including SEEKING SIRENS, HARDER TRUTHS, ENTROPY, REVOLVE/EVOLVE, and BLEED LIKE MYLEE. The HARDER TRUTHS collaboration featured contributions from members and alumni of UNEARTH, THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD, SPIRITBOX, and more.
With Impulse Tension, FROM UNDER CONCRETE KINGS return with their most aggressive and chaotic clutch of songs to date, pairing pummeling heaviness with unsettling melody and deeply personal lyrical weight.
Impulse Tension will be released digitally on August 25, 2026.
