Muse has just announced their upcoming album Will Of The People will be released on August 26th via Warner Records.
The rockers also shared the newest single from the album, “Compliance,” which can be heard below.
In January, Muse kicked off their new season of music with the track “Won’t Stand Down.”
Frontman Matt Bellamy explained Will Of The People as “influenced by the increasing uncertainty and instability in the world”.
“A pandemic, new wars in Europe, massive protests and riots, an attempted insurrection, Western democracy wavering, rising authoritarianism, wildfires and natural disasters and the destabilization of the global order all informed ‘Will Of The People’,” the guitarist said. “It has been a worrying and scary time for all of us as the Western empire and the natural world, which have cradled us for so long are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.”
