Directed by Maxime Quoilin, the trippy video mirrors the distortion and building pressure of the track, featuring glitchy close-up footage of Trent Reznor performing.

Featuring all original music by the band, the soundtrack for the third instalment in the TRON film franchise will be released on September 19 via Interscope Records.

The first-ever film score by the band – although bandmates Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have composed 20 scores under their own names – ‘As Alive As You Need Me To Be’ marks their first official music in five years.
