Almost twenty years after the release of their first album and 3 million albums sold in France, Matthew Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard are releasing their 8th studio album, a record of eleven tracks produced by the band itself and by a range of high-profile producers: Rich Costey (Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party), Mike Elizondo (Eminem, 50 Cent), Shellback (Maroon 5, Taylor Swift), and Timbaland. "Simulation Theory" is a more spontaneous and stripped-down record than its predecessors, where the traditional ingredients that have made Muse's success blend with multiple influences from genres and eras, particularly the 80s as suggested by the latest clips and the artwork created by Kyle Lambert known for his work on "Stranger Things," "Jurassic Park," and "Star Trek." The band will present this new album on stage in 2019, a tour that will pass through Bordeaux, Marseille, and Paris.
