News: Muse Return With Brand New Album ‘Drones’
2 min read
On June 5th (AUS), June 8th (UK) and June 9th (US) Muse will release their new album Drones. Co-produced by Muse and Robert John “Mutt” Lange, the album contains 12 tracks.
Matt Bellamy said today, “To me, ‘Drones’ are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behaviour with no recourse. The world is run by Drones utilizing Drones to turn us all into Drones. This album explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors.”
The first single from the album, Dead Inside, will debut the week of March 23, 2015. The band will premiere the album track Psycho, via their YouTube channel. The song will be available worldwide immediately when pre-ordering the album Drones that same day.
Muse has sold 17 million albums worldwide. Their last album The 2nd Law was released in October 2012 and topped the chart in 21 countries. The album was their highest ever debut in the USA, entering the Billboard chart at #2. In Australia, The 2nd Law debuted at #2 on the ARIA album chart and achieved gold sales.
The band have also announced that beginning on Sunday, March 15th at Belfast’s Ulster Hall they will embark on a six date smaller venue UK tour. The Psycho UK Tour also plays Glasgow, Newport, Exeter, Manchester and Brighton. Tickets go on sale at 9:30am on Thursday, March 12th. A fan club presale takes place from 6pm Wednesday, March 11th.
