Dopo aver pubblicato lo scorso anno l’ottavo disco in carriera intitolato Simulation Theory, i Muse hanno da poco annunciato l’uscita di un ricco cofanetto.
La band inglese per festeggiare i venti anni di Showbiz (esordio discografico della band), ha annunciato la pubblicazione di Origin of Muse, un ricco box disponibile dal 6 dicembre. Il contenuto, oltre ad includere i primi due album in studio del gruppo, verrà infarcito da demo, e da un libro di 48 pagine con interviste e aneddoti dei componenti della band.
