Biffy Clyro have shared a new single from their forthcoming album The Myth Of The Happily Ever After, set for release on 22 October. With a catchy riff and exasperated vocals, 'A Hunger In Your Haunt', is set to leave fans of the Scottish rockers wanting more.

Most may have gotten a taste of the band’s new output with the release of the heroic 'Unknown Male 01' earlier this month, but 'A Hunger In Your Haunt' has now raised the stakes for those itching to hear the band’s ninth album.

Biffy Clyro frontman Simon Neil explained that he had the new hard-hitting riff "kicking around for a while". He described the song as "an expression of pure frustration" in those moments he "lacked purpose and didn’t want to get out of bed for a while". However, he stressed that the song isn’t a lament but rather "a wake-up call to myself".

Scoring a huge 8/10, we reviewed last year's A Celebration Of Endings to be “appropriately timed in a period of longing for new beginnings, return for normality and a general lust for the current Groundhog Day situation to come to an end”.

The Myth of the Happily Ever After arrives 22 October.
