Fans have already been on standby for most of the week, after the band shared a video of them recording a new song 'Psycho', saying that they were working to 'a VERY tight deadline'.

Hundreds of fans across Twitter, Reddit and Muse forums, as well as various sources are reporting that iTunes briefly posted a Muse advert showing new Drones artwork and offering the chance to pre-order to receive a new track.

The artwork has since been removed, but many have noted that the design is in keeping with the work of Matt Mauhrin, who has been confirmed to be working on the artwork for Drones. Keep in mind that the same thing recently happened to Florence + The Machine on iTunes, days before her new material was aired and album announced

What the hell are they building in there? We wait with baited breath.
