Muse have unveiled two huge new tracks 'The Handler' and 'Reapers' from upcoming seventh album, Drones. Check out both songs below.
The band have been teasing fans with new clips on their official Drones mini-site, before the track was premiered by Annie Mac on her BBC Radio One show. Starting with a classic Muse searing riff with bone-shaking rhythms, 'The Handler' carries the solid space-rock heft of numbers from the Absolution era, akin to 'The Small Print', 'Fury' and 'The Groove'.
It's sure to provide a pretty monolithic cornerstone for Drones.

The Drones mini-site is urging fans to 'await missions' around the world soon - perhaps to win prizes, tickets or to see or hear exclusive content, as the band have done in the past.
Meanwhile, the site also uploaded the lyric video for another hard and heavy new one 'Reapers'.
Listen to 'Reapers' by Muse below
The lyrics to 'Reapers' are as follows
Home
It's becoming a killing field
There's a cross-hair locked on my heart
With no recourse
And there's no one behind the wheel
Hellfire
You're wiping me out
Killed by
Drones!
(killed by) Drones!
(killed by)
You rule with lies and deceit
The world is on your side
You've got the CIA baby
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna) All you've done is brutalize
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna) Drones!
War
War just moved up a gear
I don't think I can handle the truth
I'm just a pawn
And we're all expendable
Incidentally
Electronically erased
By your
Drones!
(killed by) Drones!
(killed by)
You kill by remote control
The world is on your side
You've got reapers and hawks babe
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna) Now I am radicalized
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna) Drones!
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
You rule with lies and deceit
The world is on your side
You've got the CIA baby
All you've done is brutalize
You kill by remote control
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna) The world is on your side
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna) You've got reapers and hawks babe
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna) Now I am radicalized
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
Here come the drones!
