Muse, a popular band from England, is deemed for success in the United States. WHY? Because they are Stephenie Meyer’s favorite band and was very influential in the writing of Twilight! Supermassive Black Hole was first song played throughout Twilight. NOW, Muse’s new hit, Time is Running Out , will be featured in Eclipse. Here is the music video, and be sure to watch them this year at the MTV Video Awards on September 13!

MTV wrote an article on the connection Muse’s music had on Stephanie Meyer’s writing:
Any member of Team Edward (or Team Jacob) can surely tell you that Muse are Stephenie Meyer’s favorite band — she thanked them for their inspiration and called them “rock gods” in “New Moon” and “Eclipse,” and then decided to dedicate “Eclipse” to the band for providing “a saga’s worth of inspiration.” Their “Supermassive Black Hole” also appeared on the soundtrack for the “Twilight” film.

But, perhaps not everyone who’s read the books is aware of the full impact the band had on Meyer … their music even influenced key scenes in the series, as she told MTV News last year.

“I was in Forks [Washington, the city where 'Twilight' is based] with my sister — before any of the books had come out, just sort of scoping it out,” Meyer said. “I was working on ‘Eclipse’ at the time, and I had [Muse's album] Absolution in, and ‘Hysteria’ came on and, in my mind, the kiss scene between [Bella] and Jacob just choreographed itself, down to how many steps he took toward her. So whenever I read that now, I always hear the song in my mind.”
Muse is to appear at the MTV Movie Awards on September 13th.
