Muse will released their next album, Drones, on June 8. It was produced by Robert John ‘Mutt’ Lange, famed for his work with bands like AC/DC, Def Leppard and Foreigner, and will be preceded by a single, Dead Inside, on March 23.
“To me, drones are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behaviour with no recourse,” says frontman Matt Bellamy. “The world is run by drones utilising 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 band will premiere Psycho — teased by the band yesterday on Instagram — via their YouTube channel at 6:00pm GMT on March 12, before heading out on a short UK tour.
