5/21 President announced ‘Blood of Your Empire’ their debut full length album which drops September 4th via Atlantic Records. The band also released the latest single off the upcoming album “Doom Loop”

“The song is really about the strange tragedy of time - how we spend our lives chasing it, wasting it, and fearing it - only to realise its value once a moment is gone,”

“It’s a reminder for people to be present while they are actually living their lives, not just remembering them afterwards.”
“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” - President

The Artery Foundation recently welcomed 13 year old Singer Kage Archer to their roster. The Wichita KS singer rose in popularly on social media platforms covering songs. Most notably their cover of Motionless In White’s “Slaughterhouse” which went viral. Archer also released their latest single “Carry The Weight” featuring Taylor Barber of Left To Suffer

“’Carry the Weight’ isn’t just another heavy song; it’s a look at envy,” Archer says, showcasing an astuteness beyond his years. “People see the highlight reel, the good side of my life, and say, ‘I want that.’ Sometimes wanting to be in my shoes, but they have no idea the work that goes on when the camera isn’t rolling. Or the work that had to happen as a 10-year-old to right now to get to this point.”
