Muse Prep New Album, Tour World

Devon's chart-topping space-rockers Muse are landing their melodic spacecraft (which runs cleanly on Q Awards) with a brand new album. Black Holes and Revelations, the follow-up to the band's 2003 album Absolution, comes to the U.S. on July 11 on Warner Bros., and the UK on July 3. From August to October 2005, they recorded in Studio Miraval, southern France and mixed at London's Sanctuary Townhouse Studios.

In an interview with NME, frontman Matt Bellamy revealed Black Holes sees the band getting all politically righteous. Songs like "A Soldier's Poem" are directly influenced by the current skirmish in the Middle East...Cool. Because, hey, we all want to know what Thom Yorke would sound like fronting Audioslave at the disco. Um, right?

The U.S. single, “Knights of Cydonia”, and the UK single, “Supermassive Black Hole”, are both streaming on the band's MySpace page right now.
