It's not much to go on, but I would assume if they're doing that is because they want to attract more hard rock/metal fans, maybe in preparation for the next album, which could be on the heavier side. It wouldn't surprise me since Won't stand down and Kill or be killed were the most well-received singles from WOTP, both by the Muse fanbase and the rock/metal community as a whole.
