Muse
Paranoid space-opera rock at maximum scale — riffs, falsetto and conspiracy concept albums built for the biggest possible stage.
Muse formed in Teignmouth, Devon in the mid-1990s around Matt Bellamy on guitar, piano and vocals, Chris Wolstenholme on bass and Dominic Howard on drums. The trio's early records, Showbiz and Origin of Symmetry, combined heavy riffing with classical piano figures and Bellamy's high falsetto, drawing frequent comparisons to Radiohead that the band steadily outgrew.
From Absolution and Black Holes and Revelations onward, the arrangements grew larger, incorporating orchestras, electronics and multi-part suites, while the lyrics turned to surveillance, apocalypse and political control. The band became a fixture of stadiums and large festivals, with productions built around elaborate lighting and video, and has continued releasing conceptually themed albums into the 2020s.
