MUSE have shared an animated sci-fi video for the title track of their forthcoming Will Of The People album, depicting an uprising in a dystopian future.

It's the third single to be released from Will Of The People, following on from the January release of Won't Stand Down and the March release of Compliance.
 
Speaking of the album title track, which the band's 'people' describe as "an electric anthem that showcases the band’s prowess for storytelling and sonic-scene-creation" and we say sounds like a more berserk, glam rock-and-conspiracy theory-influenced re-imagining of MARILYN MANSON's Beautiful People, Matt Bellamy says:

Will of the People is [a] fictional story set in a fictional metaverse on a fictional planet ruled by a fictional authoritarian state run by a fictional algorithm manifested by a fictional data centre running a fictional bank printing a fictional currency controlling a fictional population occupying a fictional city containing a fictional apartment where a fictional man woke up one day and thought, ‘Fuck this.’”
 
Scheduled to arrive on August 26 via Warner Records, Will Of The People, MUSE's ninth studio album has been described by Matt Bellamy as "a greatest hits album – of new songs”.
