Muse want to make "radically different" album

Muse bassist Chris Wolstenholme claimed that the band wants its new album to be "radically different" from all previous efforts. At the same time, he added that searching for new sound has turned out to be very hard.

"We feel like we are drawing a line under a certain period of what we've done in our career. It feels like it's time to move on and do something radically different", claimed Chris Wolstenholme.

He added: "But then you could get into the studio and go back to what you're comfortable with. You get in the studio and there's a natural process and you have to see where a song will take you".

Earlier Muse manager Anthony Addis revealed that Matt Bellamy and others have already written a significant amount of songs – however, the record will not hit the stores until October 2012.

"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", claimed Addis.

Muse's last to date album The Resistance hit the stores in 2009.
