"Doom Loop" (stylized in all caps) is a single by the anonymous, masked English metal band President.[1] It was announced as a single on 17 May 2026,[2] and released on 21 May through Atlantic alongside a music video.[1]
"Doom Loop" serves as the third single from the band's upcoming debut studio album Blood of Your Empire.[1]
Composition and lyrics
According to a statement released by the band, "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," adding, "It's a reminder for people to be present while they are actually living their lives, not just remembering them afterwards."[3]
Music video
The accompanying music video adopts a dark, cinematic style. Its imagery complements the song's portrayal of life slipping away and of people becoming trapped in repetitive cycles while searching for comfort or escape.[4]
Live performance
President debuted "Doom Loop" live on 24 May during their second performance at the Slam Dunk Festival.[5]
Reception
Critical
Rock Sound described the track as both "pulsating" and "neon-drenched buzz that builds in tension and tenacity," and praised it for "showcasing a control over beats as much as battery,"[6] while Loudwire described it as a "steadily driving electro-rock jam" and praised it for being "headier" than its predecessors.[7]
