The 2nd Law is the sixth studio album by English alternative rock band Muse. It is set to be released worldwide on 17 September 2012.
Background
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."[1] 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.[2] 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.[3]
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.[4] 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.[5] 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?,[6] as well as the inclusion of brass players. Bellamy also confirmed a release date of autumn 2012 for the album in the interview.[7] 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 September 17th release date.[8] The trailer, which included dubstep elements, was met with mixed reactions from fans.[9][10] 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.[11]
On the 27th June the album's lead single – titled "Survival" – was premièred that evening on BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe show after it was announced that the single would act as the official theme for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London later that summer.[12] This news came despite earlier reports that the lead single would be a song named "Unsustainable".[13]
