Here's the news all Muse fans have been waiting for - the band have finally, officially started work on their next album. 

Last week, drummer Dom Howard excited fans by teasing them with the message 'seven day countdown until album number seven'

It was obviously too soon to mean the release of the record, but on his newly launched Instagram account, Howard has shared a picture of him at his kit with the caption 'the set up has started!'

In a series of tweets earlier this month, frontman Bellamy described the new album's central themes as "deep ecology, the empathy gap and World War 3." There may be high levels of irony in this part. He also revealed that his disdain for guitar solos has mellowed on the new album, and mentioned a "sequel" to Origin Of Symmetry track 'Citizen Erased'. 

The band 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. 

Last month, frontman Matt Bellamy has taken to Twitter to answer questions from fans about the new band:

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: 

The played a number of shows in the US and South America this year, but bassist Chris Wolstenholme told Gigwise that they had no plans to play any European festivals in 2014. Fans await news of the 20th anniversary tour they teased at last year, but the band have been quiet about any potential plans to mark the occasion.
