Yeah, another masked band taking the world by storm, but President seems to be more than a copycat or a wannabe. The music seems deeper, and it’s creating a connection with fans all over the world. So it’s about time that the band releases a full-length studio album.
Today, they announce Blood of Your Empire, their debut full-length, which arrives September 4 via Atlantic Records. Pre-order it here.
“The song is really about the strange tragedy of time — how we spend our lives chasing it, wasting it, and fearing it — only to realize its value once a moment is gone,” President says. “It’s a reminder for people to be present while they are actually living their lives, not just remembering them afterwards.”
“Blood Of Your Empire was born out of my own struggle with existential crisis and trying to make sense of belief, mortality, and humanity’s relationship with faith,” President says. “Religion has inspired incredible compassion, purpose, and beauty in the world — but it has also been responsible for unimaginable suffering and bloodshed throughout history. This album lives in the tension between those two truths. Writing it became a way for me to confront the fear, confusion, and questions I’ve carried for years, and turn them into something I’m truly proud of.”

The album cover is a Eugène Delacroix painting, The Battle of Poitiers, which, consequently, hangs in the Louvre.
Launching in 2025 and operating under the cloak of minimalism and anonymity, PRESIDENT have been cultivating intrigue with each single and live performance. Refusing to conform to the traditional structures of genre or identity, PRESIDENT prioritize intent over image.

“Angel Wings”
“DOOM LOOP”
“dark heaven”
“Pink Noise”
“Mercy”
“Sleepwalker”
“Dionysus”
“This Will Divide Us”
“Hate Figure” (Feat. Ando San)
