Muse Release New Single 'Cryogen'

GRAMMY® Award-winning English rock titans Muse release their fiery new single, “Cryogen,” out now on Warner Records. The explosive track is the third taste of the band’s forthcoming tenth studio album, 'The Wow! Signal', which they announced in a broadcast from space last month and is due to impact Earth on June 26. 

“Cryogen” is urgent and explosive across its entire five minutes. 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. Throughout it all, 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.” The falsetto-streaked chorus spells out the narrator’s doom: “Cryogen, I can never cry again / Cryogen, I’m freezing over.”
