The Manic Street Preachers have made Liverpool Revisited the final track to be taken from their new album Resistance Is Futile before its release next week.
James Dean Bradfield can be seen discussing the track here, while Nicky Wire has said of the LP itself:
“The title Resistance Is Futile and the cover image just fit together perfectly. The sleeve is a vintage photograph of one of the last samurai warriors; someone who knows his time is over thanks to the coming of the gun. There’s such an intense melancholia in his eyes that the picture seems to visualise the phrase itself. There’s another reason the title is so appropriate too and that’s because the whole thing is so obsessively melodic. Resistance to the actual record itself is futile.”
A UK arena tour will open at Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena after the album’s release, on April 23rd.
