== Information == | |||
Matt first hinted at working on new Muse material in an interview with ALT 98.7 FM backstage at the ALTerEGO Festival in January of 2020 where he said that the goal for 2020 was to work on new Muse material, allthough the plans were probably halted due to the coronavirus pandemic as the three were unable to get together due to the lockdowns. Bellamy instead focused on releasing his solo material. Matt also hinted on working on Muse material in a May interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, saying that he has a few pieces written that are suited for Muse.<ref>https://youtu.be/wGHqxU-63HM?t=292</ref> In an interview with Rolling Stone, also in May, he said that that the idea would be to record the album in 2021 and potentially go on a tour in 2022. <ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/muse-matt-bellamy-interview-coronavirus-quarantine-999208/</ref> | |||
== | Bellamy confirmed he started writing the new Muse album in an interview with [[The Jaded Hearts Club|The Jaded Hearts Club Band]] for The Sun.<ref>https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12884819/matt-bellamy-thought-jaded-hearts-club-were-the-beatles/</ref> He also hinted at the band working on the next album in a brief Instagram comment in March 2021.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/lxdvdb/new_album_on_the_way_confirmed/</ref> | ||
In the interview, Bellamy said the following: ''"I started writing when all the protests and all the chaos were kicking off. It’s a weird thing to say but it suits the music I write. It keeps you a little bit on edge."''. | |||
Bellamy jokingly said, in an Instagram comment reply on [https://www.instagram.com/p/COBjSGLhFzP/ Dom Howard's Instagram post], that the album would include "emotional gasps and many usages of the word ‘soul’.". | |||
== Recording == | |||
In an interview with NME, Bellamy said that he'd like the idea of the band "totally resetting" and going back to their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon to rehearse and record the next album. It appears however, that this was not the case, as the first studio pictures that started to emerge were from Bellamy's studio, located somewhere in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and later sessions took place at [[Abbey Road Studios]]. The first proof of Muse being in the studio was an Instagram post of [https://www.instagram.com/p/CMT4hOxjpeI/ Matt playing a piano], posted in March of 2021, however work likely began even earlier. | |||
[[Aleks Von Korff]], who previously worked with Muse as an engineer on [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]], and produced Bellamy's solo material - songs like [[Tomorrow's World (Matthew Bellamy song)|Tomorrow's World]], also posted a picture from this L.A. studio, with the wooden Kawai piano. It is presumed he's also producing the album or at least some parts of it. According to him, the studio, named by Von Korff as "The Black Lodge", had been fully built in early 2020.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CX6KyANuNT8/</ref> The studio has previously been seen during the recording sessions for the debut album of Matt's cover band/supergroup [[The Jaded Hearts Club]], aswell as during the recording of [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]]. | |||
Between April and June 2021, they took a break from recording, to work on a remix of [[Origin_of_Symmetry_(album)#Origin_of_Symmetry:_XX_Anniversary_RemiXX|Origin of Symmetry]]. In early June, Chris came to L.A. to join Dom and Matt continuing work on the album.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CP6Xo7IjPs1/</ref> | |||
In November of 2021, [[Adrian Bushby]] posted a picture of him and Howard at [[Abbey Road Studios]], tracking drums, hinting at the album being partially tracked in there.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBaoDFtHHk/?utm_medium=copy_link</ref> Prior to that, on July 24th, 2021, Muse also posted a picture of Bellamy holding one of his Manson guitars, posing infront of Abbey Road Studios with the caption saying "Good to be back".<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CRtsMriBtpm/</ref> Bellamy also posted a picture of Bing infront of Abbey Road Studios around that time.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CTFAGKPjCx5/</ref> This makes the upcoming album the first of their LPs to (also) be recorded at Abbey Road in 20 years, when [[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]] was recorded at the studios. | |||
On December 1st, 2021, Chris Gehringer, mastering engineer at Sterling Sound Studios posted a picture of Bellamy and Howard sitting on a couch. This implies that the band finished recording the album and it is already being mastered. <ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CW9SHCXPtJy/</ref> | |||
An interesting thing about the new album is that it has been, compared to previous releases, recorded in almost complete secrecy, with no proper info as to what it might sound like yet available, apart from Matt's snippet of [[Won't Stand Down (song)|Won't Stand Down]] on Instagram. | |||
== Release == | |||
On December 25th, 2021, Bellamy made a short livestream from his Tesla on Muse's Instagram profile, showcasing part of, what appears to be, an upcoming song from the album. The dashboard computer showed the name "[[Won't Stand Down (song)|Won't Stand Down]]", a very heavy metalcore-like song, numbered 4 on the track list. The 60 second stream was screen-recorded by a few people, but copyright bots keep on deleting the posts, likely meaning that it, either the "Won't Stand Down" single, and/or the album itself, is nearing it's release date. It currently can be listened to [https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/romrcw/full_60_second_preview_of_new_song_wont_stand/ here]. The seemingly approaching release of the song was teased once again on Muse's New Years Eve Instagram post, when they wrote a caption saying "Looking forward to WSD. We'll see you on the other side!" under a picture, before quickly replacing "WSD" with "2022". | |||

Matt first hinted at working on new Muse material in an interview with ALT 98.7 FM backstage at the ALTerEGO Festival in January of 2020 where he said that the goal for 2020 was to work on new Muse material, allthough the plans were probably halted due to the coronavirus pandemic as the three were unable to get together due to the lockdowns. Bellamy instead focused on releasing his solo material.

[2]
Bellamy confirmed he started writing the new Muse album in an interview with The Jaded Hearts Club Band for The Sun.[3] He also hinted at the band working on the next album in a brief Instagram comment in March 2021.[4]
In the interview, Bellamy said the following: "I started writing when all the protests and all the chaos were kicking off. It’s a weird thing to say but it suits the music I write. It keeps you a little bit on edge.".
Bellamy jokingly said, in an Instagram comment reply on Dom Howard's Instagram post, that the album would include "emotional gasps and many usages of the word ‘soul’.".
Recording
In an interview with NME, Bellamy said that he'd like the idea of the band "totally resetting" and going back to their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon to rehearse and record the next album. It appears however, that this was not the case, as the first studio pictures that started to emerge were from Bellamy's studio, located somewhere in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and later sessions took place at Abbey Road Studios. The first proof of Muse being in the studio was an Instagram post of Matt playing a piano, posted in March of 2021, however work likely began even earlier.
Aleks Von Korff, who previously worked with Muse as an engineer on Simulation Theory, and produced Bellamy's solo material - songs like Tomorrow's World, also posted a picture from this L.A. studio, with the wooden Kawai piano. It is presumed he's also producing the album or at least some parts of it.

Between April and June 2021, they took a break from recording, to work on a remix of Origin of Symmetry. In early June, Chris came to L.A. to join Dom and Matt continuing work on the album.[6]
In November of 2021, Adrian Bushby posted a picture of him and Howard at Abbey Road Studios, tracking drums, hinting at the album being partially tracked in there.[7] Prior to that, on July 24th, 2021, Muse also posted a picture of Bellamy holding one of his Manson guitars, posing infront of Abbey Road Studios with the caption saying "Good to be back".[8] Bellamy also posted a picture of Bing infront of Abbey Road Studios around that time.[9] This makes the upcoming album the first of their LPs to (also) be recorded at Abbey Road in 20 years, when Origin of Symmetry was recorded at the studios.

An interesting thing about the new album is that it has been, compared to previous releases, recorded in almost complete secrecy, with no proper info as to what it might sound like yet available, apart from Matt's snippet of Won't Stand Down on Instagram.
Release
On December 25th, 2021, Bellamy made a short livestream from his Tesla on Muse's Instagram profile, showcasing part of, what appears to be, an upcoming song from the album.
