"Angel Wings" is a single by the anonymous, masked English metal band President. It was released on 18 February 2026 as a standalone single through Atlantic, accompanied by an official music video.[1]
The track marks the band’s first new material of 2026, following the release of their EP King of Terrors in late 2025.
According to President's frontman, the song explores themes of spiritual redemption and resilience, stating:
"It marks the opening of a new chapter. At its core, the song speaks to holding close those who matter most, while remaining unmoved by detractors."[1]
Music video
The music video shows a mysterious figure watching the President through a keyhole as the frontman delivers his performance. Masked bandmates play in grand, empty rooms and outside imposing stone structures, while a winged figure also makes an appearance.[1]
The music video also features the quote "Some people wear masks to hide; others to be free," a likely subtle reference to the band's decision to remain anonymous.
Live performance
The band debuted "Angel Wings" live on 22 February at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.[2]
Critical reception
Rock Sound described the track as "[a] blend of bubbling synths, spine-tingling melodies and crushing riffs," noting that it's an even more refined offering by the band.[3] Similarly, Roman Gonzales, writing for Knotfest, praised the track and described it as "[a] potent meld [of] alt rock structure with accents of industrial, sleek, stylized pop and metalcore dynamics."[4]
