Official press release:
Multi-million streaming, UK-based collective PRESIDENT exist at the intersection of heavy music, electronic experimentation, and cinematic atmosphere. Built to exist outside the noise, PRESIDENT have been building something that invites deeper investment — designed to be discovered, not sold.
Today, they announce Blood of Your Empire, their debut full length, which arrives September 4 via Atlantic Records. Pre-order it here.
The band has also shared the video for first single “DOOM LOOP.” Watch it below. PRESIDENT says of the song:
“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. It’s a reminder for people to be present while they are actually living their lives, not just remembering them afterwards.”
Of the album, PRESIDENT shares:
“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. 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.
Fresh off their first-ever full U.S. run supporting Bad Omens, PRESIDENT will return this fall to headline venues across the continent. The live campaigns will feature support from Cenobia and Showing Teeth on select dates. Produced by Live Nation, the tour is set to kick off September 4 at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, making stops across the U.S in Chicago, New York, Toronto, Boston, Atlanta, Denver, Seattle, Los Angeles. and more before wrapping up in Dallas at House of Blues on October 14.
The entire tour is already sold out.
