Following last month’s Angel Wings, PRESIDENT’s second single of 2026 is here! And it’s about how religion “has often been tied to conflict and loss” throughout history.

PRESIDENT have just dropped a huuuuge new single, Mercy.

Following February’s Angel Wings, the masked band’s next track is an absolute stormer, with frontman The President exclusively telling Kerrang! that, “Mercy comes from a need to confront the reality that religion, throughout history, has often been tied to conflict and loss. It’s an attempt to understand that on a human level – how belief can both guide and divide, often at great cost.”

Despite being on the road in North America right now with Bad Omens and Beartooth, PRESIDENT haven’t given Mercy any early live airings. However, with their sold-out UK headline tour kicking off in April, fingers crossed this one gets added to the setlist…

Catch the band live next month at the following:
