Brace yourself Muse fans, because a new album is coming our way from these British rockers. After sharing plenty of new songs – “Thought Contagion,” “Dig Down,” and “Something Human”- in the past couple of months, the band has finally announced that they are releasing a new album.

Titled Simulation Theory, the record will be released on November 9th, 2018. This will be Muse’s eight studio release and first since 2015’s Drones.

The band shared the official artwork for Simulation Theory on their social media.

But wait, there is more. Muse also shared a new single titled “The Dark Side.” The song is accompanied by a spectacular music video like the three previous tracks.

You will be able to get Simulation Theory in three editions; standard, deluxe and super deluxe. Standard edition will include the previously released four singles and seven new songs. On the other hand, Deluxe and Super Deluxe editions will have 16 and 24 songs respectively. These bonus tracks will include various versions of the songs on the base edition.

Following the release of their new album, Muse will embark on a world tour in 2019 with the dates still to be announced.
