Masked musicians, identified as President, perform a rendition of Deftones' classic hit at their inaugural headlining concert
In the world of metal music, mystery and intrigue often reign supreme. One such enigma is the masked band, President, who made their live debut at The Garage in London this week.
The band, who have been strategic in their introduction to the metal scene, performed to a packed crowd of eager fans. Their setlist included six songs: Fearless, Rage, In The Name Of The Father, Dionysus, Destroy Me, and a cover of Deftones' classic Change (In the House of Flies).
Clips of their performance of Change (In the House of Flies) have since circulated online, showcasing President's raw energy and musical prowess.
Despite widespread speculation, the identities of the band members in President remain a mystery to the public. However, there is a strong belief among fans that the frontman might be pop-punk star Charlie Simpson, known for his past bands Busted and Fightstar.
This theory gains credence from the band's trademarks being connected to a company owned by Charlie Simpson, although no official statement has confirmed his involvement.
President's viral campaign earlier this year was successful in gaining attention and popularity. Their debut EP, King Of Terrors, will include the three previously released tracks by President: Fearless, Rage, and In The Name Of The Father, along with three new tracks. The EP is set for release on September 26.
The band also made an appearance at the Download Festival on the Dogtooth Stage in June, where fans were eager to see their debut live performance. Their performance at the festival was met with a positive response, further fueling the hype around the band.
President's deliberate anonymity and the mysterious nature of the band only serve to enhance intrigue and discussion among metal fans. The band is managed by the same company as Sleep Token, another anonymous metal project, but they are distinct entities.
As the release of their debut EP approaches, fans eagerly await more from President, hoping to uncover the identity of the band behind the masks. Until then, the mystery remains.
