Oct. 24 (UPI) -- Green Day is back with new music.

The rock band released a single and music video for the song "The American Dream is Killing Me" on Tuesday.

The "American Dream is Killing Me" video shows Green Day perform amid a zombie apocalypse.

"The American Dream is Killing Me" is the first single to debut from Green Day's forthcoming album, Saviors, slated for release Jan. 19, 2024.

"Saviors is an invitation into Green Day's brain, their collective spirit as a band, and an understanding of friendship, culture and legacy of the last 30 plus years," Green Day wrote on Instagram.

"It's raw and emotional. Funny and disturbing. It's a laugh at the pain, weep in the happiness kind of record. Honesty and vulnerability."
