Muse, video still from ‘Mercy’ video (Warner Bros.)

Muse, whose Drones (Warner Bros) album came out today, have released a video for the track ‘Mercy’. You can watch the video below:

Front man Michael Bellamy commented on the concept of Drones, which figures heavily in the ‘Mercy’ video treatment:

“To me, ‘Drones’ are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behavior with no recourse. The world is run by Drones utilizing Drones to turn us all into Drones. Drones explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors.”
