The band’s highly-anticipated first LP arrives in the fall
After drawing big crowds are special guests for Bad Omens and Beartooth, President have confirmed their upcoming debut album Blood of Your Empire. The highly anticipated LP arrives on September 4 via Atlantic Records. The band has also shared the video for first single “DOOM LOOP.” Stream the official clip below.
“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.
