That's right. Muse are back, and gearing up to release their seventh studio album, Drones, and so begins the standard release of a few songs from the album. So, as accustomed, the influential Rock band offer up 'Dead Inside' to satisfy your ears. Taking the classic relationship track and putting a particularly dark spin on it, 'Dead Inside' is the beginning of the album's 'journey' and a suitable start to the no doubt dramatic album. The song highlights the toxicity of a rather horrific sounding relationship with suitably significant lyrics: "Your lips feel warm to the touch/ You can bring me back to life/ On the outside you're ablaze and alive/ But you're dead inside".
With elements of horror and incredible bass line, all mixed together with Bellamy's signature vocals, you have all the components of a great track - and it actually delivers. 'Dead Inside' lays a solid foundation for the Drones album with an over-laying theme already developing and becoming apparent. But what style of music video would be a suitable match to the song? An interpretive dance one of course! With the success of Sia's interpretive 'Elastic Heart' and 'Chandelier', we were bound to get several more videos adopting the dancing style for the aesthetic of their music videos.
Muse follow suit with employing Kathryn McCormick and Will Wingfield to act out the emotions and narrative of the song through striking dancing, and the result is quite a bold, dusty affair (watch the video and you'll see what we mean), with a hint of Supernatural (black demon eyes anyone?). In the background, of course, Matt Belamy, Christopher Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard rock out in full force, whilst covered in what appears to be chalk. It's all very odd but very Muse, and we kind of love it.
