President have announced their debut album and a supporting tour.
The masked rockers will release 'Blood Of Your Empire' through Atlantic Records on September 4, the same day they kick off their previously announced North American tour. Explaining the inspiration behind the record, they said:
"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 will include their already shared singles Angel Wings and Mercy, as well the genre-blurring new track Doom Loop, which incorporates chugging, distorted riffs and guttural screams with dynamic electronic elements. Introducing it, they said:
"The song is really about the strange tragedy of time — how we spend our lives chasing it, wasting it, and fearing it — only to realise 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."
Head below to check out the song, alongside the tracklist and album cover, which is the Eugène Delacroix painting The Battle of Poitiers, the original of which hangs at the Louvre Museum in Paris as part of their permanent collection.
President will promptly follow up their dates in the US and Canada with a newly announced UK and European tour in November, which will conclude at the O2 Academy Brixton in London.
