Hm.. I‘d try Matts daughters name .. 🤓

ok.. Username and password 😨

I’m not sure we’ve ever cracked these passwords tbh, it’ll be some kind of admin login and it’s unlikely to just be “password123” sadly.

Be here officially soon enough though, tick tock…

Welp, there we have it. New promo photos as well, very dark and black/blue vibe.

Think it’s safe to say we are finally entering an actual metal Muse era.

The tonal whiplash of this band’s discography is fecking unprecedented

How long before someone cracks  the codes and leakes the song, in your opinion?

Feels basically inevitable as usual but it’s gotten later and later in recent years, hasn’t it? I reckon the night before at best, early hours maybe.

Liking that artwork, dark but in a sophisticated way. Sleep Token vibes, too, which is always a good thing.

Innit? Probably of their better pieces of artwork for a long time imo. Love the font/weird letter symbol at the bottom. Hopefully the album follows suite. We’ve not had a good album cover in over a decade, Christ.

It actually encapsulates more letters if you look carefully. You can also make out an R and an A, for example.

Also, my personal theory is that it doesn’t refer to the album title, but to the name of the “cult” (or whatever it is) portrayed on the same cover.

I hope more metal is present throughout the album. Muse have touched on so many genres but they haven't really done a full album that leaned heavy into metal and I'm sooo ready for it!

Loving the darker feel of the art!

This. Im looking forward to the new album... based of the small snippet ive heard of the new song.

Aww, damn. Now I have to revise my album name guesses. 
 

Maybe…. It’s a password…

There could be, T W O and a P/R are the only ones that are categorically there though. You can form a bunch of letters depending on how far you go with manipulating lines, hard to know what’s intended and what isn’t.

We’ll probably only know for sure once the album title’s announced, unless the music video reveals something.

New WSD preview verse lyrics:

I never believed that I would concede

And let someone trample on me

 

You strung me along, I thought I was strong

But you were just gaslighting me

 

I’ve opened my eyes and counted the lies

And now it is clearer to me

 

You are just a user and an abuser

Living vicariously

 

I never believed that I would concede

And get myself blown asunder

 

Very PHAT bass bwah bwahs between each line

Such poetry, such fine subtlety… /s

Oh, god… This is going to be Drones all over again, isn’t it? 😓

EDIT: The music and production sound rad, though!

Yup. Generic sentiments of oppression jotted down while watching the World collapse from a wall-sized tv in a Hollywood mansion.

So what happened to all the board regulars? Did people get banned? 
 

I know nothings happened for over 2 years but figured this would be the time we’d see the old regulars posting more often.  

Let's wait until the full song is released or more album details are shared.
