Muse make their eagerly awaited return with brand new single ‘Unravelling’, their first new music since 2022’s UK #1 album, Will Of The People.
Teasers for the track sparked intense online speculation, before the band debuted the song at their intimate warm-up show at the House of Culture in Helsinki. It then received a rapturous reception when it was introduced to a 50,000-strong audience during their headline set at Finland’s Rockfest.
‘Unravelling’ puts a new spin on the genre-clash creativity that has become a hallmark of the Muse experience. Haunting, arpeggiated synths establish a foreboding tone before it suddenly detonates into a colossal wall of barbed riffs and unleashing a full-drama hook that pulsates with their renowned maximalist theatricality.

The track was produced by the multiple Grammy nominee Dan Lancaster (Bring Me The Horizon, Blink-182), who also performs keyboards and additional guitar in the Muse live band. ‘Unravelling’ is set to be a highlight as Muse’s select international summer festival touring continues with headline performances at Hellfest, Pinkpop, Tons of Rock, STHLM Fields and Open’er Festival.
Muse are Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme. Their previous album, Will of the People, debuted at #1 in multiple territories and marked the band’s seventh consecutive album to debut in the UK top spot. Their 2015 album, Drones, went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, the band’s second. Since forming in 1994, Muse have released nine studio albums, selling over 30 million units worldwide. The trio have won numerous music awards including two Grammy Awards, an American Music Award, five MTV Europe Music Awards, two Brit Awards, eleven NME Awards and seven Q Awards, amongst others.
