HELD, the trio featuring Douglas Robinson and Sal Mignano of THE SLEEPING alongside COHEED AND CAMBRIA's Josh Eppard, have released 'Constant Tension', the second preview from the band's forthcoming debut album, 'Grey', due on May 15 via MNRK Heavy.
The five-minute track arrives on the heels of the band's debut single, 'New You Anthem' (featuring Frank Iero), which Revolver praised for its 'lightning-strike guitar… and thunderous drums,' Alternative Press dubbed as 'rousing,' and idobi called a 'dazzling post-hardcore tune.' Where HELD.'s introduction leaned into catharsis through connection, 'Constant Tension' presents a more unsettled dynamic.
Directed by Adam Thomson, the accompanying video builds on the story arc introduced with 'New You Anthem', providing a sci-fi-esque visual companion to the themes behind 'Grey'.
The band has also announced an intimate 'Grey' listening party this Thursday, March 5, at Selva in Brooklyn, where they will be on hand from 7 to 10 p.m., and no RSVP is required.
