Multi-million streaming, UK-based collective PRESIDENT are pleased to reveal BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE, their debut full length, out now via Atlantic Records.
The album arrives the same day the band kicks off its first-ever headline tour, which is completely sold out.
PRESIDENT, who embarked on their first-ever full U.S. tour supporting Bad Omens earlier the year, are now headlining venues across North America. The live campaigns will feature support from Showing Teeth on select dates. The album is truly a moment in the overall President campaign.
“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.
Launching in 2025 and operating under the cloak of minimalism and anonymity, PRESIDENT have been cultivating intrigue with each single and live performance. Refusing to conform to the traditional structures of genre or identity, PRESIDENT prioritises intent over image.
PRESIDENT will return this fall to headline venues across the continent before headlining in the UK and Europe.
