Muse will release their new album in Autumn next year, it has been reported.
 
The band whose last album 'The Resistance' came out back in September 2009 are currently recording its follow-up, sources close to the band can reveal.

 
“They've now gone into the recording studio. Hopefully, the album might come out October next year,” the band's manager Anthony Addis told Billboard.

The band, known for their explosive live shows, had previously toyed with the idea of only releasing single tracks instead of full lengths, but it seems the group have had a change of heart with this yet-unnamed release.

“They've written a lot of material already, but you don't know how it's going to gel between them all. They write constantly. They write on the road, so before or after a gig they'll write nearly every night,” their manager added.

Muse have been touring extensively over the past year, playing the Reading and Leeds festivals among others, but look set to take a breather at least for the moment.

It will come at a perfect time, with singer Matt Bellamy having to juggle being a new father with the band's gruelling schedule - his wife Kate Hudson recently giving birth to their first child in July.
