In the aftermath of the 2012’s electro-heavy The 2nd Law, Muse wanted to get back to their rock roots for the album that would become their 2015 seventh record Drones. To do this, they had an expert solution and enlisted the services of iconic producer Mutt Lange, the man behind rock classics such as Back In Black, Hysteria and more. After all, who better than to guide the trio back onto rocky turf? Fresh from sessions in Canada with the feted producer, Muse’s Matt Bellamy told this writer all about the experience.
“Mutt Lange, fucking hell, Jesus,” Bellamy began. “He’s unbelievable, he’s a genius. Him and I are connected very closely and he doesn’t come out of his shell very much, he’s a person that doesn’t really come out much, literally, he’s a bit reclusive. I have tendencies like that sometimes but he’s much more, much more and he’s equally as paranoid and weird as me. “
