Muse Return with New Album “Drones” Released In The UK on June 8

English rock band Muse will release their new album “Drones” in the UK on June 8. Co-produced by Muse and Robert John “Mutt” Lange, the album contains 12 tracks.

Matt Bellamy said in an interview, “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. The band premiered the album track “Psycho”, via their YouTube channel last March 12. The song is available worldwide when pre-ordering the album Drones on the same day.

The band have also announced that beginning March 15, they will embark on a six date smaller venue for their UK tour. The Psycho UK Tour also plays Glasgow, Newport, Exeter, Manchester and Brighton.
