The story behind the song

"Hysteria" is a song about a soul-consuming obsession, capturing the intensity of being completely taken over by a powerful feeling. The track, from Muse's 2003 album Absolution, is driven by a distinctive, distorted bassline that originated from a soundcheck jam. This riff was transformed into a "machine-gun-like" pattern, giving the song its relentless energy. Playing "Hysteria" means stepping into that feeling of overwhelming, all-consuming passion.
