Muses Matt Bellamy has told NME that society wants a new type of revolution.

Following the coronavirus pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the current cost of living crisis, the frontman said he believes change is coming.

I think everyone knows we want a revolution, but we definitely dont want a bunch of authoritarian lunatics from the right. Thats the last thing we want, he told NME in this weeks Big Read cover story, ahead of the Devon rockers new album,Will Of The People, being released in August.

And also we dont want a total communist situation on the hard left either. I think what we want is something completely new. I dont think it exists out there at the moment, but I think theres a new type of politics that could emerge.

I would call it Meta-Centrism. Its an oscillation between liberal, libertarian values for individuals your social life, the ability to be whatever gender you are, all that kind of stuff but then more socialist on things like land ownership, nature and energy distribution. Its oscillation between the two poles.

He continued: I think theres a way of doing that but theres no language that enables people to think that way. Youre either hard left or youre hard right Im not with any of these; I feel like theres a third way. Theres no existing side that describes what Im looking for yetIm fundamentally anti-authoritarian thats just my nature; I was born that way. So if I see certain things, on either side, that [make you think], Dont start telling me to do that or live like that, it doesnt matter where its coming from: I will probably resist it.

Bellamy also said he believes society is on the brink of a disruptive transition.

He added: Everyones doing everything they can to pretend thats not going to happen or to try and maintain the status quo [but] the longer they hold on to this, the worse its going to be when it happens. If we can just make the transition a little bit more gradual, it might happen a bit less violently.

But its gonna be a big, big shift. Youre talking about an economic collapse, shift and reinvention, total energy transition.

In the same interview, the frontman also claimed thatDonald Trumps reign of division in the US allowed Vladimir Putin to cause chaos in the West.

Meanwhile, Muse kicked off their summer tour earlier this monthat Rock Am Ring 2022, dusting off rarities and performing the unreleased track Kill Or Be Killed and recent single Will Of The People for the first time. The set also included a live debut for Bellamys solo track Behold, The Glove.
