Muse have announced that their forthcoming album will be called 'Black Holes And Revelations' and is released on the 3rd of July 2006. It will be preceded with the download single 'Supermassive black holes' released on the 9th of May 2006.

The download single will contain artwork and a b-side (which is good news, it's one of my pet hates about download singles, generally no artwork and b-sides)! I knew it was too good to be true!!

Album news, from NME.com

'There's a song on the album called "A Soldier's Poem", written from the perspective of a soldier, who kind of thinks "I'm out here risking my life, for what?"', he said.

Bellamy added that themes of impending apocalypse also visited on "Absolution" are more specific this time round. "There is a theme on the album, it's that kind of connection to the cycles of history where the tension builds up and then it's released. Whether it's catastrophic like a nuclear war, or whether aliens come down and it's brilliant, but there's definitely a sense that something big is about to happen."
