Muse

Muse is a British rock band from Teignmouth, Devon, made up of Matthew Bellamy (guitarist, keyboardist, singer, songwriter, center of the picture), Christopher Wolstenholme (bassist, background vocalist, to the left of the picture), and Dominic Howard (drummer, to the right of the picture), that formed at their school, in 1994. They often blend classical piano and strings (and sometimes even choirs) with catchy guitar and piano hooks.

Muse is mainly recognized for their alternative genre of music and their live performances. Some have drawn comparisons between Muse and other bands such as Radiohead; however, this comparison has diminished over the years as Muse has evolved in their style.

The band consistently features an apocalyptic theme in their albums, with each album presenting a different apocalyptic perspective: Showbiz (Anxiety), Origin of Symmetry (Mental Disorder), Absolution (Religion and atheism), Black Holes and Revelations (Alien’s Attack), The Resistance (Mind Control), The 2nd Law (The 2nd Law of thermodynamics and the world moving toward destruction – Entropy), Drones (War), Simulation Theory (Life is a simulation and we should escape this fragile world and move toward the bigger picture), and Will of the People, a dystopian world of revolts inspired by events happening around the year 2020 (such as the Black Lives Matter protests, the massive wildfires, the pandemic, and street riots).
