Masked metal enigmas President played their debut headline show this week and threw in a cover version of Deftones<\/a> classic Change (In the House of Flies).<\/p>\n

The anonymous band performed at The Garage in England’s capital on Wednesday and fans packed in to see their six-song set.<\/p>\n

Their set of course included the three tracks they have released to date \u2013 Fearless, Rage<\/a> and In The Name Of The Father. As well as the Deftones cover, they also played Dionysus and Destroy Me.<\/p>\n

Other than the cover, all of the songs performed in London will appear on the band’s debut EP King Of Terrors which will be released on September 26<\/a>.<\/p>\n

President burst onto the scene on the back of a cunning viral campaign earlier this year. The tactic appears to have worked well.<\/p>\n

As well as packing out The Garage, they also had fans clamouring to see their debut live performance when they graced the Dogtooth Stage at Download<\/a> festival in June.<\/p>\n

The mystery surrounding the band members’ identities has sparked feverish speculation online, with many fans convinced the frontman is pop-punk star Charlie Simpson.<\/p>\n

Simpson was a member of the hugely successful pop punk band Busted, but also showed his rock credentials in his post-hardcore outfit Fightstar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether or not Simpson is indeed the man behind the mask, President have been very shrewd in how they have gone about their introduction to the metal scene.<\/p>\n
