Enigmatic, anonymous metal outfit President have officially announced the details of their highly anticipated debut full-length album, Blood Of Your Empire, set for release on 4th September 2026 via Atlantic Records. In tandem with the album announcement, the band has mapped out a 13-date autumn headline campaign across the UK and Europe.
Operating under a cloak of strict minimalism since launching in 2025, the multi-million streaming project blends heavy riffs, electronic experimentation, and starkly cinematic soundscapes. The upcoming album explicitly tackles profound existential themes. “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,” the band’s mastermind explains. The thematic weight is visually anchored by the album’s cover art, which features Eugène Delacroix’s historic Louvre-held painting, The Battle of Poitiers.
To celebrate the dual announcement, President have shared a video for their powerful new track “DOOM LOOP.” Ahead of the winter headline run—and straight off a sold-out US trek supporting Bad Omens – the anonymous collective will heavily traverse the European summer festival circuit, including consecutive weekend appearances at Slam Dunk Festival alongside the likes of The Rasmus.
Presale tickets for the headline run go live on Wednesday 27th May at 10:00 AM, followed by the general public sale on Friday 29th May at 10:00 AM local time.
