English rock band Muse recently shared a fiery new single, "Cryogen," as another preview of their upcoming album, The Wow! Signal.
"Cryogen" is the third song to be released from the band's forthcoming tenth studio album after "Be With You" and "Unravelling." The Wow! Signal, a follow-up to 2022's Will of the People, is due out June 26.
The band has also announced an extensive North American amphitheater tour, set to kick off on July 2 at Milwaukee's Summerfest and conclude at Los Angeles' iconic Hollywood Bowl on August 31st.
"After a squelching intro, Muse let loose a sky-scraping spiral of guitar before plunging into a roiling pool of smashing drums, grinding bass, and dramatic vocals," a press release says of "Cryogen." "Throughout it all, [frontman] Matt Bellamy paints a vivid picture of a man so deep in the thrall of another that he's envisioned his tormentor as a frozen moon of Jupiter, and himself as a lost speck on the surface."
"Winter's end, she's Europa, I'm a cracked interloper / Icicles pierce my heart so cruel and quiet / Loneliness, she left me trembling in a polar desert / Wilderness, I'm breaking…Cryogen, I can never cry again / Cryogen, I'm freezing over," the lyrics of the new song go.
