Muse are set to record their sixth full-length album in England's capital after years of working in studios around the world. 

Speaking to XFM, front man Matt Bellamy explained:

"We've actually never made a full album in London, we've made bits here occasionally."

"Chris had always lived in Devon, but he's now moved to London so we have all decided to move here because I think it would be great for us all to be in the same city together, living." 

The 'Knights of Cydonia' rockers, who recently won the title of Best British Band at the NME Awards, also added that all living in the same place at the same time will be a welcome break and something that will enable them to spend quality time working on the new record:

"It would be nice to be based in the same place so we can go out and so we can make an album together and also socialise together at the same time. 

"It also means we can make the album over a longer period of time without having to pressurise it all in to a three week studio session, you can spread it out."
