PRESIDENT, a masked UK alt-metal collective, announced their debut album Blood of Your Empire for release September 4 through Atlantic Records. The band released the single “DOOM LOOP” ahead of the album. The album release coincides with the start of a previously announced North American headlining tour, beginning in Nashville and running through October 14 in Dallas. Tickets for the tour have sold out, with availability listed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program. The frontman, wearing a lifelike presidential mask, described the album as emerging from an existential crisis and a search for meaning in belief, mortality, and faith. He framed the album’s themes as balancing compassion and beauty with historical suffering and bloodshed. “DOOM LOOP” centers on the tragedy of time and the need to be present while living.
"“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.” He added, “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 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.”"
"PRESIDENT have announced their debut album, Blood of Your Empire, set for release September 4th via Atlantic Records. In advance of its release, the alt-metal band has unveiled the single “DOOM LOOP.” The album will arrive on the same day that PRESIDENT launch their previously announced North American headlining tour in Nashville. The outing runs through an October 14th show in Dallas, and while tickets have already sold out, they can be found on StubHub, where your purchase is 120% guaranteed through StubHub's Fan Protect program."
