It's been a few years since we've heard any new music from Nickelback, but the band came back with a vengeance on Wednesday with the release of a hard-driving new single and accompanying video, "Feed the Machine".
Set in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future where machines have imprisoned humans (think "The Matrix" and "The Terminator"), Chad Kroeger and his fellow band members are depicted as freedom-fighting revolutionaries who free the enslaved humans from their machine captors in the video (above).

"Feed the Machine" is the title track from the band's forthcoming album (their first studio album since 2014's "No Fixed Address"), which is set to be released on June 16. In addition, the band revealed the release of "Feed the Machine" will be followed by a 44-city North American tour this summer, kicking off in Noblesville, Indiana, on June 23.
