"God & Satan" is the sixth single from Biffy Clyro's fifth album, Only Revolutions. It was released on 23 August 2010[1] – exactly one year on from the release of the first proper single from the Only Revolutions marketing campaign, "That Golden Rule" ("Mountains", released in 2008, was originally claimed to be a stopgap, non-album release).

Music video

The music video was filmed sometime around June/July 2010. It premiered on Channel 4 at 00:10 am on 20 July 2010.[2] The video begins with the band standing in a lake, their bodies submerged under the water with only their heads sticking out. Later, the band, part of a cult, walk through the countryside with a large group of people towards a woodland area where a celebration is taking place. At the end of the video, the band are laid down on the group and covered in rags.
