Manic Street Preachers seem to be hinting at a possible re-issue of their 1993 album 'Gold Against The Soul'.
The album followed their explosive debut 'Generation Terrorists', which the Welsh band vowed would sell 20 million copies – globally – before precipitating their untimely split.
Those sales weren't quite achieved at the time, leading to the calmer, rather more palatial arena rock sound of 'Gold Against The Soul'.

More on that as it is confirmed.
Manic Street Preachers recently brought film maker Kieran Evans documentary Be Pure Be Vigilant Behave – shot on their 2014 'The Holy Bible' anniversary tour – to cinemas across the country.
