Muse - Mercy

Bråvalla festival is up and running atm. One of the headliners are the British rock band MUSE.
The band will enter the stage this evening if nothing comes in their way of course.

So let's play a tune with them today.

Today's tune "Mercy" is a tune taken from their seventh album, Drones. It was released as the second single from the album on 18 May 2015.

In a press release, the band's frontman Matt Bellamy said of the track, "The opening line of 'Mercy' - "Help me, I’ve fallen on the inside" - is a reference to the protagonist [of the album] knowing and recognising that they have lost something, they have lost themselves." Bellamy continued, "This is where they realise they're being overcome by the dark forces that were introduced in 'Psycho.'"

Muse's seventh studio album 'Drones' was  released on June 8, their follow-up to 2012's 'The 2nd Law'.

Speaking previously about the album, Bellamy said that it "explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors".

Bellamy recently claimed that 'Drones' is Muse's best album, admitting, "That’s not something I’ve been able to say for a while.

Muse - Psycho

Drones is the upcoming seventh studio album by English alternative rock band MUSE. The album was co-produced by the band and AC/DC producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange and will be released in 8 June 2015. The album art was designed by American artist Matt Mahurin

On their previous albums The Resistance (2009) and The 2nd Law (2012), Muse experimented with orchestral and electronic music. In December 2013, Muse released a live album and film, Live at Rome Olympic Stadium; songwriter Matthew Bellamy said the band wanted the live album "to capture some of the extremes of what we've been doing since we want to go in a different direction in the future."

Muse began writing their seventh album soon after the Rome concert.

Bellamy stated that the album "should be something that really does strip away the additional things that we've experimented with on the last two albums. ... I kind of feel like it will be nice to reconnect and remind ourselves of just the basics of who we are." Answering fan questions on Twitter in September 2014, Bellamy said the album's themes include deep ecology, the empathy gap and World War 3.

In March 2015, Bellamy said:

To me, "Drones" are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behaviour with no recourse. The world is run by Drones utilizing Drones to turn us all into Drones. This album explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors.

 
MUSE are:

Matthew Bellamy- Lead Guitar, Lead Vocals
Christopher Wolstenholme- Bass, Backing Vocals
Dominic Howard- Drums

Additional personnel:

Robert John "Mutt" Lange – production

Todays tune is the lyric video for "Psycho" is the first taste from the upcoming album, release was on 12 March 2015. "Dead Inside" will be released as the official lead single on 23 March 2015. From 15 to 24 March, the band will also play six concerts in small venues in the UK, which will be labelled as the Psycho UK Tour.
