Manic Street Preachers is a rock group formed in Blackwood, Wales in the late 1980s. The band consists of James Dean Bradfield on lead guitar and vocals, Nicky Wire (also known as Jones) on bass, and Sean Moore on drums. Richey Edwards, who played rhythm guitar, has been missing presumed dead since 1995. Despite this tragic loss, the remaining members have continued as a trio.
Known for their heavy guitar sound, Manic Street Preachers have also gained recognition through remixes by electronic artists. Their music combines elements of rock with electronic influences to create a unique and dynamic sound that appeals to a wide audience.
With their rich musical history and dedication to their craft, Manic Street Preachers have established themselves as influential figures in the music industry. Their powerful performances and thought-provoking lyrics continue to captivate fans around the world.

Remastered and expanded version of the classic 1993 album Gold Against the Soul by Manic Street Preachers.

Taking the hard rock inclinations of Generation Terrorists to an extreme, the Manic Street Preachers delivered a intriguing second album with Gold Against the Soul. Inspired by Guns N' Roses, the Manics decided to rework their working-class angst as heavy arena rock; they seize upon the latent politicism of Guns N' Roses' tortured white-trash metal, interpreting it as a call to arms. Since the Manics are more intellectual and revolutionary than the Gunners, Gold Against the Soul burns with inspired rhetoric. Standouts include From Despair to Where a vibrant anthem, plus Drug Drug Druggy and Roses in the Hospital.

Two physical format editions: The 2CD version is housed in a large format hardback book and includes b-sides, remixes and demos along with a huge archive of unseen photographs from long-time collaborator Mitch Ikeda. There is also a 1LP version which is the original album remastered (plus b-sides on the download version).
