New Muse Album Gets July Release

Muse have confirmed the release date for their much anticipated new album.

The follow up to 2003’s ‘Absolution’ will hit the shops worldwide on July 3 with North America following the next day.

Drummer Dominic Howard recently told VH1 of the album: "The diversity of the album and some of the directions we've discovered and gone for might shock (our fans) in some way."

"Hopefully, it will be a nice shock — ultimately all of them sound like Muse. We reached a point where we were looking at all these songs and how different they sounded, and we were wondering how this was ever going to sound like a band, like one album. But somehow it really does."
