TRACK OF THE DAY: MUSE - MERCY

MUSE have released “Mercy”, the third track from their forthcoming album ‘Drones’. The previously released two songs “Dead Inside” and “Psycho” began the story of ‘Drones’, which is released on June 8. On June 13 the band headline at Download, the UK’s biggest rock festival, their debut performance at the event and their sole UK performance of 2015.

Says lead singer Matt Bellamy, “The opening line of “Mercy” – ‘help me I’ve fallen on the inside’ – is a reference to the protagonist knowing and recognizing that they have lost something, they have lost themselves. This is where they realize they’re being overcome by the dark forces that were introduced in “Psycho”.”

“Mercy” appears on their forthcoming studio album, Drones, which will be released June 8th by Warner Bros. Records. According to Bellamy the record “explores the journey of a human: from abandonment and loss of hope, to indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to eventual defection from the oppressors.”
