Muse have recently hit the studio to start recording their 6th album and at this stage it looks like it will be set for an October 2012 release.

Matt Bellamy joked around this past week on Twitter hinting at the musical direction the group would be taking -

The band’s manager, Anthony Addis said “They’ve written a lot of material already but you don’t know how it’s going to gel between them all. They write constantly. They write on the road, so before or after a gig they’ll write nearly every night. It’s a serious process, but you don’t know how it’s going to turn out [until] you start practicing it together, because everybody’s done it individually”

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the end result is but there’s no doubt it will be all kinds of epic as we’ve come to expect from the arena-scale English rockers.

Anyone out there got any ideas as to other crazy genres the boys could try their hand at? Best answer gets the entire Muse back catalogue on CD!
