Neues Album, alter Sound?

08.04.2008, 12:50, Text: Senta Best

Bassist Nicky Wire erläutert die näheren Pläne des neunten Studioalbums der Manic Street Preachers. Noch sei kein Song für das neue Album komplett fertig, aber über den Sound der neuen Titel ist man sich offensichtlich schon im Klaren: Die Band will sich an alten Titeln wie die der 'The Holy Bible'-Phase von 1994 orientieren . "We’re itching – I know James has got loads of stuff written in his head. I can hear him in practice and it sounds like he’s gone to a kind of riff-tastic place. A kind of, I dunno, heavy rock version of the Holy Bible seems to be going on musically for him – but we haven’t actually written anything at the moment."

Auf die Frage, warum die Manic Street Preachers selten einen der 'The Holy Bible'-Tracks live spielen, antwortet Wire:  "It’s awkward – you have to be in a mental state of ferocious animosity and kind of bewilderment. It’s the only time I feel slightly wrong or fake about doing stuff because you’ve just really got to feel that way. That album is as much of a mental state as it is a piece of music." Aha!
