Muse have dropped another single from their upcoming 10th full-length album, and our next taste of ‘The Wow! Signal’ is a heavy one.
With ‘The Wow! Signal’ set to be released on June 26 via Warner Records, the new track is called ‘Cryogen’.
Produced alongside Dan Lancaster (Bring Me the Horizon, blink-182) — who performs keys and additional guitar in the Muse live band — it’s a deliciously heavy cut that was first teased during the band’s recent Brixton Academy show.
Here’s what our reviewer had to say about it on the night:
“…the wonky riff sounds like an instant successor to ‘Plug In Baby’. Its four-chord chorus is an efficient and punchy rock recipe that sounds nothing like ‘Unravelling’ or ‘Be With You’, only fuelling more suspense around where ‘The Wow! Signal’ will take Muse’s sound.”
Now that it’s out in the world for good, take a listen to ‘Cryogen’ below:
In true Muse style, the band announced their upcoming album from literal space. In partnership with Sent Into Space, they blasted a specially designed tablet 20 miles up into the atmosphere carrying the video for ‘Be With You’.
