On June 9, Muse will release their seventh full-length, Drones, through Warner Bros. Records. The 12-track effort will act as a follow-up to 2012’s The 2nd Law.

“To me, “drones” are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behavior with no recourse,” said frontman Matt Bellamy in a prepared statement. “The world is run by drones utilizing drones to turn us all into drones. Drones 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.”

According to various sources, a teaser track titled “Psycho” will hit the web tomorrow, while the record’s lead single, “Dark Inside,” will arrive on March 23. In the meantime, you can view the album’s cover art and tracklist below.
