On the album itself, they add: “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.”
The artwork for Blood Of Your Empire notably features PRESIDENT’s logo alongside the Eugène Delacroix painting The Battle of Poitiers, which hangs in the Louvre.
