Black Holes and Revelations is the fourth studio album by English rock band Muse, recorded in 2006 across New York City, London, Milan, and southern France. The album's reach — geographic and sonic — shapes its character: vast, tightly wound, and weighted with a sense that something enormous is at stake. Fans drawn to it tend to seek that same combination of scale and intensity, whether the civilisational collapse plays out in space, in music, or at the edge of known physics.
Black Holes and Revelations is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Muse. It was released on 3 July 2006 through Warner Bros. Records and Helium-3. It was produced by Rich Costey over four months in New York City, London, Milan and southern France.

For the cosmic-dread side, The Black Hole (1979) puts a crew at the literal edge of a singularity, while Foundation scales that feeling to a collapsing galactic empire. For the music-and-power angle, Rock & Rule has a villainous rock star summoning a demon, and Interstella 5555 follows alien musicians kidnapped and reprogrammed by a predatory record producer.
Stereo Aereo fuses space travel and rock music into a shooter where a band's concert is the mission. Mushroom 11 matches the album's bleaker undertow — a post-collapse world navigated through an organism that survives by constantly destroying and regrowing itself.
Origins draws on geology, astrophysics, and cosmology to explore the universe's most extraordinary events — the same vast canvas the album operates on. Black Science takes a more personal angle: the last Dimensionaut stranded at the furthest reaches of space, forced to rebuild himself before he can protect anything.
