If you've been following Muse's social media accounts closely, you may have noticed the British arena rock band's not-too-subtle hints that their next album would be called Drones. Sure enough, they have now confirmed that Drones will be out on June 9 through Warner Bros. Records.
The album was self-produced by the band along with famed rock producer Mutt Lange, who has produced for the likes of AC/DC, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, Nickelback and many more.
Muse frontman Matt Bellamy said in a statement, "To me, 'Drones' are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behaviour with no recourse. The world is run by Drones utilizing Drones to turn us all into Drones. Drones explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors."
