Muse
English rock trio from Teignmouth, Devon -- Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard -- known for pairing arena-scale classical-influenced arrangements with lyrics fixated on surveillance, control, and technological dystopia across albums like Origin of Symmetry, Black Holes and Revelations, and Simulation Theory. In September 2026, the band lost its longstanding "muse" handle on Instagram and X to Meta's newly launched AI agent of the same name.
