Muse to begin recording new album in May

Muse have announced that they will begin recording their new album next month, KROQ reports (via NME). Drummer Dom Howard spoke of their upcoming seventh studio album saying:

"We're going to start this year... (Coachella) is our last two gigs, then we're completely done for touring this album. We're going to go back in May and start working on some new stuff, so I think we'll start making it this year... If we can get something out this year, that would be great, but definitely next year."

"I've written some good tracks, actually," frontman Matt Bellamy said of the album in a previous interview. "We haven't had a chance to rehearse them out yet... I have this strong feeling that the next album should be something that really does strip away the additional things that we've experimented with on the last two albums, which is electronics, symphonics and orchestral work and all that kind of stuff."

Muse is set to play the second weekend of Coachella this Saturday (April 19). The new album will follow up 2012's The 2nd Law. What would you like to see Muse do with this next album? Let us know in the comments section below!
