The identity of President’s lead singer has finally been revealed in the latest music video. However, several fans interpret this as a ploy, from how the comments look.
“We did not come to whisper. We came to build.” – This was the message from President to fans at the Download Festival 2025 last month, as the mysterious band unleashed their debut single “In The Name Of The Father.”
The President’s lead singer pulled off his mask in the music video of their latest single “Fearless”.
Many fans were disappointed, believing the identity reveal to be a “ruse”.
The band has announced their debut headlining show on July 30th at The Garage in London. The immediate next show is on Jul 15th at Castle Donington, UK. Check out their official website for more details!
If we come to think of their sound, we think it goes quite well with the mysterious image they have built. At the crossroads of heavy music, electronic experimentation, and a cinematic atmosphere, alternative metal band President’s sound is definitely not the traditional structure-bound metal music but more. One of those rare groups who purely focus on the music, on the intent rather than the image. The listener knows that what’s important is not the ones who created the movement but the music itself.
The mystery surrounding the President’s identity has been growing among fans, more so when they came to the limelight with their single release in May. And as it has been with incognito artists, fans have kept speculating who it might be.
While one fan commented they must have some connection to Sleep Token, another fan believed it is English vocalist Charlie Simpson behind the voice.
“Fearless” Music Video: President Lead Singer Finally Does a Face Reveal
And this month, their lead singer finally did a face reveal in the music video of their latest single “Fearless”. And it’s definitely not Vessel from Sleep Token or Simpson, as many fans had thought. This is an unknown fresh face, much to our surprise. Fans found this face reveal a little gimmicky.
“That face reveal is definitely a misdirect. Charlie’s just trolling now,” came a YouTube comment. “Oooooh, what if it’s like ‘Dr. Who’ where the President gets regenerated and a new vocalist takes over for a few songs?” posted another fan. “Or literally like a president serving terms. That’d be a dope concept.”
A Reddit fan opines that the lyrics apply universally to all of us; maybe the idea is that the President can be anybody. But as we see, on social media, many fans are still sticking to their view that this has to be Charlie Simpson. One fan said it was fake to add to the ‘mystery’. “Without the vocal effects from the previous song present on ‘Fearless’, it was 10000% clear it’s Charlie lol,” reads his Reddit.
“Something has been stirring. A growing noise, a ripple through the republic of the underground,” the band had commented back when “In the Name of the Father” premiered. “We called. You listened. Your curiosity, your questions, your conversation… We have witnessed it all. … This is your PRESIDENT. We’ll be seeing you soon. Godspeed.”
The band has announced their debut headlining show on July 30th at The Garage in London. The immediate next show is on Jul 15th at Castle Donington, UK. Check their official website for more details!
