Alternative rock three-piece Muse have announced the title of their forthcoming album via Twitter:
Drum roll please… The new Muse album title is… The Resistance.
I like this title. I also liked Black Holes & Revelations, which has its fair few detractors these days (“Map of the Problematique” and “Knights of Cydonia” really were that good, but I’ll admit there were a few fillers on there).
Anyway, expect an epic slice of prog-rock when the new record is released this September. In November 2008, band leader Matt Bellemy stated:
There is a new song in three parts, more of a symphony than a song which I’ve been working on sporadically for many years. As a large percentage of the composition is orchestral I’ve never wanted to collaborate with a string arranger as they may make it ‘theirs’.
So I’ve been arranging the orchestral elements myself which is taking a long time due to my inexperience with large scale scoring. It should hopefully make the next album as the final three tracks.
