Information

First music video for the first single, Won't Stand Down, off of the upcoming album. It will be released together with the single itself on January 13th, 2022, at 3PM GMT. [1]

Up until a few days before the release, very few teases were shown regarding the music video (only ones being the short snippet on Muse's TikTok[2], Bellamy teasing with a screenshot of him[3] and another screenshot from the video posted on Muse's Instagram[4]), until a longer music video tease was posted by Muse on an Instagram story on January 12th, 24 hours before the release, together with a YouTube premiere link.

The video has been produced by MrMr Films, a production company based in London and shot by Shelter Film, an Ukrainian production company based in Kyiv, where filming took place at, in an unknown studio. The video was directed by Jared Hogan, while overall creative direction has been handled by Jesse Lee Stout.

Description

The video depicts a mysterious figure, named "Kueen" (or simply "Queen" by the director himself), that siphons the collective energy of a dark army to transmute into an augmented being.[5] Kueen is, despite looking like Bellamy wearing make-up, actually played by an actress, wearing the grotesque Bellamy mask, which starts her journey on a wheelchair, dressed in a white gown, which, by the end of the video, later transforms into a dark grim creature, played by an actor, with a completely different mask, the same which was featured in the Instagram filter Muse put out a few days prior to the release.[6]

Trivia

  • The masks worn by the Army, portrayed in the video, are similar to the ones worn by 'Nameles Ghouls', masked band members of the Swedish metal band 'Ghost'.[7]
  • Each member of the Army wears the mysterious monogram pattern on their suit, identical to the one seen on the single cover. The video theme itself also appears on the single cover.
  • First music video after Resistance to be filmed in a 4:3 ratio in it's entirety
