Manic Street Preachers announce 'Resistance Is Futile' album

Manic Street Preachers have released details for their upcoming 13th album, Resistance is Futile. The band's first album in four years will be released in April 2018 on Columbia/Sony.

The band had this to say:

“The main themes of ‘Resistance is Futile’ are memory and loss; forgotten history; confused reality and art as a hiding place and inspiration. It’s obsessively melodic - in many ways referencing both the naive energy of ‘Generation Terrorists’ and the orchestral sweep of ‘Everything Must Go’. After delay and difficulties getting started, the record has come together really quickly over the last few months through a surge of creativity and some old school hard work.”

To coincide with the release the band will head out on tour:

23 April     NEWCASTLE, Metro Radio Arena

25 April     GLASGOW, The SSE Hydro Arena

27 April     BIRMINGHAM, Arena

28 April     MANCHESTER, Arena
