'Muse Absolution XX Anniversary' deluxe boxset confirmed ahead of upcoming UK shows

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the band’s seminal album ‘Absolution’, Muse will release the ‘Muse Absolution XX Anniversary’ deluxe box set on November 17th.

Continuing where the ‘Origin Of Muse’ box set left off, ‘Muse Absolution XX Anniversary’ features remastered audio, never before released live versions, demos, photos and an in-depth interview with the band where they discuss the ups and downs of the recording process as well as the social environment they found themselves in which influenced the album’s themes. There is also an additional interview and Q&A with the original album’s main producer Rich Costey.

The deluxe box set will be housed in a silver foiled slipcase and includes a 4-page casebound book with debossed cover detailing. The remastered ‘Absolution’ album is on one CD and two 12” silver vinyl discs. The bonus audio is featured on a second CD and a third clear 12” vinyl.
