Weeks of teasing led up to this moment, including a cryptic video clip hinting at an upcoming music video, captioned “Back at it,” which had fans buzzing with excitement. The live footage from Helsinki reveals a track that takes cues from the synth-heavy textures of The 2nd Law and Simulation Theory, before exploding into the intense, riff-driven rock reminiscent of Origin Of Symmetry, Absolution, and Drones.
