A heavy prog-metal and nu-metal-like song, with heavy use of synth arpeggios. The style of the song has been compared to Muse's output from the Origin of Symmetry, Absolution and Black Holes & Revelations eras, mixed with Drones. The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from wontstanddown.muse.mu.
In a 2022 interview with Zane Lowe, Bellamy said that this track is "the best metal/prog track we've ever done, the best track that could've been on Drones.".[3] The metal-like song was further described in Warner Music's short album recap as having "industrial-tinged" and "granite heavy" guitar riffs.[4]
Kill or Be Killed features a distinct guitar riff during the intro and the verse, similar in style to bands like Limp Bizkit, Slipknot and Korn, while the drum beat is similar to that of New Born, with the snare hitting every beat. The tom-driven pre-chorus parts are similar in style to songs like Stockholm Syndrome, and Assassin's demo version, Debase Mason's Grog, while chorus parts feature a fast double kick drum beat. The song is also, at times, reminiscent of Blockades.
The song has a tapping guitar solo, which, like most of the song, also uses a Whammy pedal, sweeping up and down, and mimicks Matt playing sweeping arpeggios. The tapping solo is similar to other tapping solos in songs like Invincible and Reapers. What's also similar to the latter, is the siren, which appears during the bridge part, followed by a distorted scream, similar to the final "Won't Stand Down" scream in the song of the same name. The chord progression during the solo is similar to that of The Globalist's middle section, while the melody of the guitar during the break of the song, written in phrygian scale and B-minor, is reminiscent to that of Break It to Me's verses.
This is the only song on Will of the People to be both co-produced and mixed by Aleks Von Korff.
The song was first performed live on June 4th, 2022. It is played by Matt on the same specially-tuned guitar as Won't Stand Down.
Kill or be killed
Crawling, I'm exhausted with fear
Our love and compassion dissolve
Demons have materialised in me
Can't fight them, they're taking control
Tried, oh, I've tried, so hard to be good
But the war rewards us when we’re bad
Fate
It’s driving me insane
It’s forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed
Driven a stake right through my heart
I'm growing so cold and detached
Tried, oh, I've tried, so hard to spread love
But she prefers it when I assert control
Fate
Has brought us here to face
Our hopes and dreams erased
Either kill or be killed
Either kill or be killed
Fate
It’s driving me insane
It’s forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed

I saw Muse live at Rock Am Ring and it was so amazing

[@MoreRoguenjosh]

Would have been!

[@meamzcs]

I saw them at Rock im Park... They fucking killed it... Was hands down the best performance of the whole god damn festival and i've seen a lot of incredibly sick performances before...

[@ninetailedfox579121]

@@meamzcs Not surprising, they are one of the best live bands. If you haven't seen anything else of them live there are some videos on here of some of their full tours, I recommend checking them out.

[@DrewPwnage]

This song and won’t stand down are literally my fav Muse songs as of now

[@proevoisace7]

For me this is their best song since Absolution

[@Aidan-mm4zm]

Best since bhar imo

[@proevoisace7]

@@Aidan-mm4zm thats fair, probably on the same level as map of the problematique and knights

[@MoreRoguenjosh]

You might be right

[@kkmm991]

Since Rocket Baby dolls :v

[@lukasmenkhoff9035]

What are your thoughts on reapers?

[@GT.Bugger]

Not listened to this for a while...its still as great as I remember. Looking forward to the studio release soon.

[@BooToadstool]

Heyy i'm kinda late to this video, i just saw it right now and it is really shocking to me the fact that you mentioned Matt looks like Christian Bale. Exactly 2 years ago today my sister passed away, she liked both of them they were her biggest crushes and my other sister always told her that they both looked so much like each other. I felt like it was some kind of message to me from her or smthing idk it just felt cute, thank you.

@@MoreRoguenjosh sorry I'm not familiar with your past videos- have you watched any where he played the piano?

[@gayanegasparyan4137]

Yes I always said Matt looks like Christian Bale hahaha

[@jimmihjberg6314]

This is an absolute killer! :D Where on earth did you dig up that video from RTL? You would be doing the entire Muse community an enormous favor by uploading this Rock am Ring performance - it's really a standout version. :)
Great video from you, btw.! Keep up the good work, mate.

[@MoreRoguenjosh]

Thanks so much jimmi!!

[@your.average.doom.player]
