Legendary trip-hop duo Massive Attack are set to release their highly anticipated 5th studio album Heligoland on EMI's Virgin Records on February 9th, 2010.

Last month, the duo released their first new material in three years, giving fans a preview of Heligoland with a 4-song EP Splitting the Atom which features 2 album tracks and 2 album track remixes.

Heligoland features an all star cast of guest vocals from Damon Albarn, Hope Sandoval, Martina Topley-Bird, Guy Garvey and Tunde Adebimpe.

Long time cohort Horace Andy makes a return alongside Massive Attack founding members Robert Del Naja (3D) and Grand Marshall (Daddy G). Damon Albarn also plays bass on "Flat Of The Blade" and keyboards on "Splitting The Atom" while Portishead's Adrian Utley plays guitar on "Saturday Come Slow". The band also collaborated with DFA's Tim Goldsworthy on selected tracks.
