Citizens, rally together for the much anticipated release of UK-based collective PRESIDENT‘s debut full-length album, BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE, on September 4.
The album consists of 10 tracks, with three of them already released (“DOOM LOOP,” Mercy,” and “Angel Wings“), along with seven new songs:
- “dark heaven”
- “Pink Noise”
- “Sleepwalker”
- “Dionysus”
- “This Will Divide Us”
- “Hate Figure (ft. Ando San)”
- “White Devil”
Just a few days ago, the music video for “DOOM LOOP,”was released. You can watch it now on YouTube.
In a press release, PRESIDENT said this about the album’s concept:
“‘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.”
Drawing the connection of the bloodshed throughout history, the album cover is a painting by Eugène Delacroix, The Battle of Poitiers — it depicts a battle that took place in 1356 during the Hundred Years’ War between a French army commanded by King John II and an Anglo-Gascon army commanded by Edward of Woodstock, The Black Prince.
You can pre-save the album now below.
After coming off their spectacular run as an opener for Bad Omens‘ US tour, PRESIDENT will return in the fall for their own headline North American tour with special guests Cenobia and Showing Teeth. Tickets are on sale now here.
