Muse have spoken out about progress and sound on their new album, revealing that it's 'going to get heavy' and 'should be out by next summer'.
The Devonshire space-rockers, who are currently in the studio working on their seventh studio album, have previously spoken about how the record will be 'rockier', 'more raw' and much more back to basics than the synth and classical-inspired sounds on their more recent albums.
Now, frontman Matt Bellamy has taken to Twitter to answer questions from fans:
@Cylux yes, going well. We hope to have it ready for next summer.

Not only that, but Bellamy went on to say that he and the band's friend and filmmaker Tom Kirk were going through over 15 years of footage to release online - potentially to tie in with the band's anticipated 20th anniversary:

All sorts of tape labels 'Dom in hospital/guitar hit him/bologna 2004', 'Torquay concert 2000' & my favourite 'girl pukes on bus in Turkey'
