Knights Of Cydonia is the second single to be released by Muse, The first being, Supermassive Black Hole which was released earlier this year to much critical acclaim.

It's a truly welcome slice of surf prog rock and brings the new album Black Holes & Revelations to an almighty close.

If Muse sound like a new band on 'Black Holes and Revelations' it's because, after Glastonbury, they are: expanded of mind, settled of spirit and anything but sedentary of sound. Absolution' left off - all doomy celestial synths and Matt's preacherish wails of 'You will burn in hell for your sins!' - we suddenly rocket off into unexplored quadrants.

Accompanied by a video that manages to cram the best moments of an Eastwood Spaghetti Western, Star Wars, Barbarella and Evil Knievel into one cohesive and massively entertaining piece of film, ‘Knights Of Cydonia’ is classic Muse; compulsive, operatic, expansive rock. Shot by Joseph Kahn (winner of a Grammy for Britney Spears “Toxic” and several MTV VMA’s) in the Californian desert, the UK and Romania.
