British trio Muse have finished recording their fifth album, entitled The Resistance, which will be released on September 15th by Warner Bros. Records. Produced by Muse, the album was mixed by famed audio engineer Mark ‘Spike’ Stent, who is known for his work with U2, Depeche Mode, No Doubt, and Oasis, among many others.
Muse will perform at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13th, two days before The Resistance is released in the U.S. In addition, the band will open select shows for U2, including two shows at Giants Stadium in New York, this fall. Please see below for tour dates.
For the last few years, Muse, which is vocalist/guitarist Matthew Bellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenholme, and drummer Dominic Howard, have played to sell-out crowds throughout the U.S., Asia, Australia, and Europe in support of their previous album Black Holes and Revelations, which debuted at Number 9 on Billboard’s album chart in July 2006. In the U.S., the band, which hails from the tiny town of Teignmouth in Devon, England, performed at the Lollapalooza Festival, the Austin City Limits Music Festival, Las Vegas’s Vegoose Festival, and KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas and sold out New York City’s Madison Square Garden and The Forum in Los Angeles.
In April 2008, Muse released a live CD/DVD entitled HAARP. Filmed and recorded at London’s Wembley Stadium over two nights in June 2007, the DVD captures the exuberant spectacle of the band performing their Modern Rock chart hits “Knights Of Cydonia,” “Starlight,” and “Supermassive Black Hole” before sell-out crowds of nearly 150,000 ecstatic fans. “Supermassive Black Hole” is also featured on the soundtrack to the blockbuster 2008 film Twilight.
