Apocalyptic rockers Muse collaborated with VRSE.works creator Guy Shelmerdine for their first virtual reality video. The immersive 360 degree video for the Drones song “Revolt” was shot on location in a power plant in Prague.
Set in a dystopian future, the video for “Revolt” features a clash between cyborg police and brightly colored “activists” who resemble a certain Russian punk band while futuristic drones fly overhead.
Shelmerdine said in a press release, “This isn’t a music video in the traditional sense. It’s an experience. You aren’t watching Muse play on your TV. You are riding around in drones, flying through a riot as tear gas swirls around you, swooping within inches of Muse’s dramatic performance.”
