Muse are an English rock band formed in 1994. The band consists of Matthew Bellamy, Christopher Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard. They signed to Maverick Records and released their debut album, Showbiz, in 1999. Muse's music showcases Bellamy's falsetto and a melancholic alternative rock style.
With their second album, Origin of Symmetry (2001), Muse incorporated wider instrumentation and romantic classical influences, earning them a reputation for energetic live performances. Their albums Absolution (2003) and Black Holes & Revelations (2006) brought them international success with hits like "Butterflies & Hurricanes" and "Supermassive Black Hole".
Their later albums, such as The Resistance (2009) and Drones (2015), explored themes of government oppression and civil uprising while cementing Muse as one of the world's major stadium acts. Their latest album, Will of the People (2022), is inspired by current events like the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement.

Grammy Award winning band Muse release their long-awaited ninth studio album Will Of The People via Warner Records. Of the album, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy says, “Will Of The People was created in Los Angeles and London and is influenced by the increasing uncertainty and instability in the world. A pandemic, new wars in Europe, massive protests and riots, an attempted insurrection, Western democracy wavering, rising authoritarianism, wildfires and natural disasters and the destabilization of the global order all informed Will Of The People. It has been a worrying and scary time for all of us as the Western empire and the natural world, which have cradled us for so long are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.”

With Muse being Muse, there is NO bowing to any singular genre. The album’s title track “Will Of The People” brings playful provocation to a dystopian glam-rocker while there is an innocence and a purity to the nostalgic electronic textures of “Verona.” From the visceral thrill of “Won’t Stand Down,” to the industrial-tinged, granite heavy riffs of “Kill Or Be Killed,” or the lightning-bolt rush of “Euphoria,” the album concludes with the frenetic finale of the brutally honest “We Are Fucking Fucked.” On the band’s new single “Compliance,” Bellamy says, “

Will Of The People was produced by Muse. Key collaborators include mixing on eight tracks by the multiple Grammy Award winner Serban Ghenea; mixing from Dan Lancaster on “Won’t Stand Down,” and additional mixing on “Kill Or Be Killed” from Aleks von Korff.
