The 2nd Law






Muse planned to enter the studio to start recording their sixth album in September 2011. Bassist Christopher Wolstenholme told BBC Radio 1: " September and October, that's when we're going to get into the studio to start writing the new album."

In an interview with Billboard on 18 October 2011, the band's manager Anthony Addis revealed, that Muse had begun recording their sixth album in London and that he expected it to be released by October 2012. Bellamy jokingly described the album as a " christian gangsta rap jazz odyssey, with some ambient rebellious dubstep and face melting metal flamenco cowboy psychedelia" on his Twitter account.

In an interview with Kerrang! on 14 December 2011, Wolstenholme stated, that the next Muse album would be " something radically different" from their prior releases. He also said, that it felt as if the band were " drawing a line under a certain period" of their career with their sixth album.

It was revealed via Muse's publicist Tom Kirk on his Twitter account, that composer David Campbell, who had worked with acts such as Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Beck and Adele was helping Matt Bellamy compose the album.

In an interview in the April 2012 issue of NME, Bellamy said that the band were set to include elements of electronic music, with influences coming from acts such as French house duo Justice and UK Electronic Rock group Does It Offend You, Yeah?, as well as the inclusion of brass players. Bellamy also confirmed a release date of autumn 2012 for the album in the interview.

On 6 June 2012, Muse released a trailer for their next album, The 2nd Law, with a countdown on the band's website suggesting a 17 September release date, although the actual release date was 1 October 2012. The trailer, which included dubstep elements, was met with mixed reactions from fans.

On 7 June 2012, Muse announced a European Arena tour; the first leg of The 2nd Law Tour. The leg included dates in France, Spain and the United Kingdom as well as other countries. Muse's first single from the album, " Survival", was the official song of the London 2012 Summer Olympics. The single premiè red on BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe show on 27 June along with a prelude. Muse performed " Survival" at the Olympics closing ceremony
