Over-the-top rock trio Muse are back with a new single. “Won’t Stand Down” is a typically bombastic production that sounds like they’re swinging beyond the stadium, orchestrating elements of metal and R&B. As usual, there’s a little Queen in there too. “’Won’t Stand Down’ is a song about standing your ground against bullies, whether that be on the playground, at work or anywhere,” says frontman Matt Bellamy. “Protecting yourself from coercion and sociopathic manipulation and to face adversity with strength, confidence and aggression.”

Never ones to go small with their videos, either, “Won’t Stand Down” is directed by Jared Hogan and features “a fragile, mysterious figure that siphons the collective energy of a dark army in order to transmute into an augmented being.” Watch that below.

No word on whether this is the first taste from a new album, but it probably is. Their last album was 2018’s Simulation Theory. Muse have European tour dates lined up for the summer and those are listed below.
