Biography

High-bitrate streams expose string samples, synth PWM, and drum room.
Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard met as teenagers in Teignmouth. Showbiz (1999) and Origin of Symmetry (2001) displayed Bellamy’s falsetto and a taste for classical flourishes. Absolution (2003) and Black Holes and Revelations (2006) brought Time Is Running Out and Supermassive Black Hole.
The Resistance (2009) and The 2nd Law (2012) pushed their ambition, and Drones (2015) won a Grammy. Their live shows, with elaborate stage designs, have earned Glastonbury headline slots.
