10BLACK HOLES AND REVELATIONS MUSE

( 2006)

More eclectic than any Muse album before it, especially in terms of themes, instrumentation and layers, Blackholesandrevelations is a potently cohesive twist of rock and electronic music that in truth no other band could deliver with such fierce bravado. Matt Bellamy was using Manson guitars through Marshall, Vox and Diezel amps, along with an array of pedals including his ZVEX Fuzz Factory, Digitech Whammy, Keeley Compressor and Boss OC-2. Bellamy’s tones feel gargantuan throughout – especially on the album’s lead single Supermassiveblackhole and on the epic closing track Knightsofcydonia.
