Alter Bridge have released a video for their track Show Me A Leader.
It features on the band’s upcoming fifth album The Last Hero, and comes after they issued an audio clip of the single last month.
Earlier this month, frontman Myles Kennedy said the track was written to reflect people’s disillusionment of modern politics.
He said: “The lyric was written pretty quickly. I was lying in bed staying at guitarist Mark Tremonti’s house and heard the TV in the other room. There was a bunch of political business on TV and the line, ‘Well, they’re selling another messiah here tonight’ came into my head.
“It reflects the frustration that people are feeling with the current state of things, leadership, a certain disillusionment. It definitely takes the pulse of where a lot of us are standing right now.”
It was announced last month that Alter Bridge will tour Europe with Volbeat and Gojira in November and December this year. They have a number of remaining US shows over the coming months.
