The Manic Street Preachers are set to release their 15th studio album in January 2025. Featuring the single "Decline & Fall", and "Hiding in plain sight" which sees the bassist, Nicky Wires taking on lead vocals for the first time.
 
The band say of the album, “This is a record of opposites colliding - of dialectics trying to find a path of resolution. While the music has an effervescence and an elegiac uplift, most of the words deal with the cold analysis of the self, the exception being the three lyrics by James (Dean Bradfield) which look for and hopefully find answers in people, their memories, language and beliefs.
 
The band will follow the release with a UK tour starting in April.
 
Available on standard black or Indie exclusive red vinyl.
