<P> Simulation Theory is the eighth studio album by English rock band Muse , to be released on 9 November 2018 through Warner Bros. Records and Helium - 3 . Co-produced by the band with Rich Costey , Mike Elizondo , Shellback , and Timbaland , it is a synth - rock album with themes of simulation and centering on the idea of `` fantasy becoming real '' . Contrasting the band 's previous three albums which dealt with darker themes , the band sought lighter influences from science fiction and 1980s pop culture and produced the album one track at a time without a focus on a greater narrative or theme . Recording began at AIR Studios in London in early 2017 with Elizondo , creating three tracks before embarking on a midyear tour of North America . Production restarted in Los Angeles in late 2017 with Costey , who had co-produced the band 's 2003 album Absolution and 2006 album Black Holes and Revelations . `` Era - blending '' juxtapositioning and the contemporary political climate of the United States informed the album 's music and lyrics . </P>
