In a bizarre two minute video posted on their Youtube channel, UK rock trio Muse have announced details of their sixth studio album, set to be released in September 2012.
Titled The 2nd Law the short trailer showcases some awful acting, cliched stockfootage and a clip of what may or may not be new Muse material. Opening with a chorus of violins and an epic choir, the trailer soon descends into a Skrillex style dubstep number, possibly hinting at a future direction for the group.
The group began recording in September last year and have apparently been working with David Campbell, who has previously pulled the strings for Adele, Radiohead and Beck amongst others. It remains to be seen whether this ‘Musestep’ (as one fan affectionately titled it) will form the basis for The 2nd Law; but judging by the trailer, here’s hoping it’s not.
