President\u2019s singer says of the track: \u201cThe song is really about the strange tragedy of time \u2013 how we spend our lives chasing it, wasting it, and fearing it \u2013 only to realise its value once a moment is gone. It\u2019s a reminder for people to be present while they are actually living their lives, not just remembering them afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the album, he adds: \u201cBlood Of Your Empire was born out of my own struggle with existential crisis and trying to make sense of belief, mortality, and humanity\u2019s relationship with faith.<\/p>\n

\u201cReligion has inspired incredible compassion, purpose, and beauty in the world \u2013 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blood Of Your Empire will have 10 tracks, including Doom Loop and previous single Mercy. Hate Figure will feature prog\/hip-hop innovator Ando San, who\u2019s supported the band in the past and is signed to their and Sleep Token<\/a>\u2019s management company, Future History. Track seven, Dionysus, previously appeared on their debut EP, King Of Terrors.<\/p>\n

President were one of the most talked-about new bands of 2025, debuting by having their name appear on the poster for that year\u2019s Download festival, despite having not released a single song up to that point. Their performance on the festival\u2019s Dogtooth stage was so anticipated that the tent overflowed. They released King Of Terrors last September.<\/p>\n

Hammer\u2019s Danni Leivers gave the EP a three-and-a-half-star review<\/a>, saying that while the band showed promise, there were undeniable similarities to fellow fast-rising, masked cult Sleep Token, who also gelled pop, metal and other genres.<\/p>\n

\u201c[In The Name Of The Father], a thrilling slab of metalcore, has already been streamed more than nine million times, boasts a lofty chorus \u2013 albeit with a divisive level of autotune on President\u2019s voice \u2013 and hits hard with a Sleep Token-esque breakdown,\u201d Leivers wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, Fearless aims for the same heights as Architects<\/a>\u2019 arena metal grab, For Those That Wish To Exist. Both are impressive, but hardly as unique or life-changing as a breathless internet would let you believe.\u201d<\/p>\n

President have a stacked live schedule for 2026, with their next show taking place at Slam Dunk festival in Hatfield, UK on Saturday, May 23. They\u2019ll play more European festival stages in the summer before jetting to North in the autumn, where they\u2019ll headline from September to October.<\/p>\n
