After they had toured, they went back into the studio and started work on album number six The Resistance. After releasing Black Holes & Revelations, Muse toured the world and became notorious live performers, winning awards for the best live act from NME, Q Awards and many more. The album contained some of the band’s most recognisable singles, including ‘Supermassive Black Hole’ and the sublime ‘Knights of Cydonia’. It would take another three years before we would hear from the band again.īlack Holes & Revelations was released in 2006, and it went straight to the top of the UK album chart. It was an even bigger success back home, where it went triple platinum Now that they had established themselves, they could spend some more time perfecting albums. It made people in the US notice the Devon-based band, so much so the album went platinum in the US. Released in 2003, it contained the tracks ‘Time Is Running Out’ and ‘Hysteria’. Their next album, Absolution, did just that. Released in 2002, it contained songs that were cut from the first two albums as well as live performances from their tour.īy this point, Muse were known by music fans up and down the UK, but they still had to make a statement in the US. The band then took their sound on tour, and the recordings from the tour were then used to create album number three, the Hullabaloo Soundtrack. Origins of Symmetry showed that Muse were not one-album wonders, sporting such instant hits such as ‘Plug-in Baby’ and ‘Newborn’. Due to the success of Showbiz, Muse almost immediately started work on their follow up album, and in 2001, it was released.
In 1999 the band released their debut album Showbiz, which went platinum in the UK. Off the success of ‘Muscle Museum’, Muse were subsequently signed to Maverick Records. This got a lot of people excited, from critics, to fans, to record companies. ‘Muscle Museum’ brought a new sound that no band had really attempted before, to merge the electronic and rock genres. The following year, they released their first big single: ‘Muscle Museum’. The band’s journey began back in 1997 when Matthew Bellamy (vocalist & guitarist), Chris Wolstenholme (bassist) and Dominic Howard (drummer) launched their self-titled debut EP with Dangerous Records. Over the past two decades, Muse have risen from a group of three guys from Teignmouth, Devon, to a superpower in the rock genre and a live music phenomenon.
