According to loudwire.com, Muse’s singles off the new album, Will of the People, are some of their heaviest music ever and recently singer Matt Bellamy credited his son for the Slipknot influence in their latest record. Bellamy is quoted in saying, “That was what was refreshing about it. It was nice to actually find something that we weren’t good at, do you know what I mean, and actually try and get really good at. Because metal, it turns out these metal players are absolute geniuses.” Bellamy continued to say that, “It also coincides with a little bit of my son, Bing, who’s really gotten into like Slipknot and stuff like that, And we never pretend to be able to touch those guys, but hearing that stuff blasting on the way to school most mornings, that really kind of got into the album a little bit.” The Slipknot influence has also influenced their live shows, earlier this year, they shocked a festival crowd by playing Slipknot’s “Duality” as an outro to “Won’t Stand Down.”
