Muse could claim an Official Albums Chart first this week, with Will Of The People tracking to become the UK’s first-ever Number 1 album using NFT (non-fungible token) technology, according to the Official Charts Company.

Muse frontman Matt Bellamy has revealed further details of what to expect from the band’s new album ‘Will Of The People’.Last week, the Teignmouth trio announced the record and shared new single ‘Compliance’.“A pandemic, new wars in Europe, massive protests and riots, an attempted insurrection, Western democracy wavering, rising authoritarianism, wildfires and natural disasters and the destabilisation of the global order all informed ‘Will Of The People’,” Bellamy said of the new album at the time.“It has been a worrying and scary time for all of us as the Western empire and the natural world, which have cradled us for so long are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.”Now, he has gone into detail about the sound of the record.“We’ve always tried to think outside the box,” Bellamy told Apple Music 1. “We’ve never been one particular genre.“This album goes from metal all the way to pop to my first version to an Adele song… a lot of electronica.

Muse have teased more new music with a clip that their fans are speculating also provides a first glimpse of the band’s new album artwork.The Teignmouth trio returned in January with the track ‘Won’t Stand Down’, which was the first preview of the band’s as-yet-untitled ninth studio LP.Muse have shared a new 35-second video teaser this afternoon (March 9), which fans of the band believe concludes with a first look at the band’s next album artwork.In the cinematic clip, a crowd of hooded figures wearing shiny masks pull down giant busts of the three Muse members – Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard – on the outskirts of a windswept desert city.After the busts are toppled by the crowd, the three heads are then seen lying on the ground – before the camera angle is then adjusted to fit the typical dimensions of an album cover, suggesting that this will likely be the image that will serve as Muse’s next album artwork.The video teaser is also soundtracked by what appears to be a snippet of Muse’s next single, with the lyrics “the will of the people” being chanted repeatedly as the clip builds to a climax.
