‘For The Throne’ is coming soon
Ahead of the upcoming release of the new Game Of Thrones album ‘For The Throne’, Muse have been performing frontman Matt Bellamy’s track ‘Pray’ on their recent tour. Check it out below.
To celebrate the eighth and final season of Game Of Thrones, an album of music inspired by the hit fantasy series has been announced – featuring new and original songs by The National, Ellie Goulding, Rosalía, Mumford & Sons, A$AP Rocky, Chloe x Halle, Jacob Banks, James Arthur, Lennon Stella, Joey Bada$$, The Weeknd, SZA, Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Peep, The Lumineers and more.
Among the new songs will be the first solo release by Muse frontman Matt Bellamy. At recent dates in support of their 2018 album ‘Simulation Theory‘, the band have been playing a cinematic number called ‘Pray’ as an interlude. When asked about the song by a fan on Instagram last month, Bellamy replied: “I wrote that for something else actually, but it fits nicely into the tour setlist.
“It will come out soon (April time I think) connected to a well-known TV show…”

‘For The Throne’ will be released on April 26 on 11 different vinyl configurations, with nine cover variants for each of the show’s house crests, one colour variant with fire and ice coloured vinyl, and one standard. Pre-order it here.
Ahead of their return to the UK this summer, Muse recently admitted that they “may have gone too far” with the spectacle of their current stage show – and question where they could possibly go from here.
“That’s the thing — it’s becoming unsustainable,” said drummer Dom Howard. “This is very much about the spectacle, this tour, but the antithesis would be to do something that’s purely about the music and nothing else, which is most likely what we’ll do in the future. At this stage, I don’t know.
“It’s either back down to Earth or straight into space.”
The band recently announced that Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave legend Tom Morello would be supporting them on their upcoming UK tour dates.
Muse’s 2019 UK ‘Simulation Theory’ tour dates are:
Saturday June 1, 2019 – LONDON Stadium Olympic Park
Wednesday June 5, 2019 – BRISTOL Ashton Gate Stadium
Saturday June 8, 2019 – MANCHESTER Manchester Etihad Stadium
Game Of Thrones returns for a final run of six episodes on Sunday (April 14).
