About the song “Mercy,” President say, “Throughout history, religion has been tied to profound division and loss. This song is a reflection on that reality.”
Multimillion-streaming, U.K.-based collective President continue to exist at the intersection of heavy music, electronic experimentation and cinematic atmosphere. Launching in 2025 and operating under minimalism and anonymity, President have been cultivating intrigue with each single and live performance.
The band have announced a North American 2026 tour with support from Cenobia and Showing Teeth. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will headline at Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas in The Linq Promenade on Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 7 p.m.
Pre-sales will run ahead of the general on-sale Friday, April 3, at 10 a.m. PT. For more information, visit BrooklynBowl.com/las-vegas.
President recently released the single “Mercy,” which is ] about perfectly executed dynamics – mixing memorable melodies and heavier-than-granite riffs with gritty breakdowns. The result is another anthem. Watch the lyric video here.
About the song, President say, “Throughout history, religion has been tied to profound division and loss. This song is a reflection on that reality and a way for me to come to terms with what it means on a human level.” More news about future President live rallies will be revealed shortly.
“Mercy” follows “Angel Wings,” which dropped in February. Watch the video here. The song was tipped by Rock Sound as “a blend of bubbling synths, spine-tingling melodies and crushing riffs,” while Revolver declared the song “refined their mix of modern metal, pop and electronic music, contorting itself from twitchy programmed beats toward a cavernously djenting boom.”
Built to exist outside the noise, President are building something that invites deeper investment – designed to be discovered, not sold. President told Revolver in a cover feature that “the music industry has elements of fast fashion to it these days. Things just come and go. Everything’s really quick.
“Everyone’s shouting for attention and there’s just so much noise, and it just becomes a f*cking conveyor belt. [We] wanted to step back and not be a part of that. But if people are interested, and they want to enter into this world, we’ll grab them with open arms.”
President’s debut EP “King of Terrors” was released last fall; listen here.
