"This song is a pro-troops, anti-war song and the video shows how this country is being consumed by its need for oil," says Patrick.

The new video is premiering exclusively on Yahoo! Music and can be viewed below. The band recently shot the clip in Los Angeles before embarking on their tour across the U.S. and Europe.

A bleak and forceful statement about the war, the "Soldiers of Misfortune" video alternates between live performance visuals of FILTER - with oil dripping over them throughout - and images of American flags, purple hearts and soldiers all being swallowed up and destroyed by oil. Beyond that, viewers see burning money and newspapers with headlines straight off the presses and bloody body parts. It was created as an homage to "the young men and women serving this country and who are dying in Iraq for a war based on oil," according to Patrick, who recently performed for the troops in Kuwait as part of the Operation MySpace concert.

As it tours the country, FILTER will head to New York City for a May 13 record-release party/performance at the Mercury Lounge.
