Mysterious new band President sparks speculation

A recent addition to the UK’s Download Festival lineup at Donington Park has caught metal fans’ attention. The unknown group President was quietly included among 22 new artists announced for the festival last week.

Currently, no one seems to know anything about this band, which has been engaging in viral marketing ahead of what appears to be their upcoming reveal. The group is fully committed to their mysterious persona, referring to their upcoming announcement as their ‘campaign’ and their festival performance as an ‘inauguration rally.’

Internet detectives have noted that the band’s management connections and website appear to link them to masked alternative metal band Sleep Token, who will be headlining Download Festival the day before President‘s June 15th performance.

Some fans have suggested that President might be connected to Sleep Token‘s recent cryptic social media activity. For those interested in investigating further, the video below provides the first clues:
