The Manic Street Preachers announced the release of ‘The Holy Bible Live’, a collection documenting their tour performing their 1994 album in its entirety. Scheduled for release on October 23, the album will be available in multiple formats, including vinyl, CD, Blu-ray, and a deluxe edition featuring a new spatial audio mix of the original album by Steven Wilson.

To coincide with the release, a reworked live video for ‘Mausoleum’ from the concert film ‘Be Pure - Be Vigilant - Behave’ was made public. Lead singer James Dean Bradfield noted the tour served to demonstrate the band’s ability to perform the difficult material, even while he battled severe influenza during certain shows. Band member Nicky Wire also commented on the physical and mental intensity required to revisit the album’s themes.
