Muse: Dead Inside
"Dead Inside" is a mesmerizing yet simplistic performance video. While Matt Bellamy, Christopher Wolstenhoime and Dominic Howard perform among more white powder than you could ever fathom in what is likely to be a post-apocalyptic world, a pair of dancers tango to the roaring rock track. Though they're clearly alive on the outside, with warm lips and bendable bodies as Bellamy sings, they're clearly "Dead Inside," with stark black eyes dominating their faces.
The video is one of Muse's more stripped down efforts (especially when compared to The 2nd Law offerings "Panic Station" and "Supremacy"), but it maintains that epicness that fans desire from the band.

"Dead Inside" was the second song released and first lead single from Muse's forthcoming album Drones. It followed the release of the biting sampler track "Psycho."
If the song seems a little on the cold side, well, that's because it is. Drones explores modern warfare and its connection to the human psyche. In an interview earlier this year, Bellamy explained the meaning behind the new album. "To me, a drone is a metaphor for what it is to lose modern empathy and start to not really care much about what's going on in the world and going on around you. I think that through modern technology, and obviously through drone warfare in particular, it's possible to actually do quite horrific things by remote control, at a great distance, without actually feeling any of the consequences, or even feeling responsible in some way," he said.
Drones, the follow-up to Muse's 2012 album The 2nd Law, is due to be released on June 9.
