Stephen Metcalf This song has been going through my head a lot lately: is it any wonder? Looks like I’m not alone. The addition of Gwenno’s beautiful Welsh vocal lifts the song to a spine tingling new height. Fe godwn ni eto! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Favorite track: Manic Street Preachers - Spectators Of Suicide (ft.

about

Spectators of Suicide was originally recorded for Manic Street Preachers 1991 EP You Love Us, their last release for Heavenly Recordings. Although they only recorded seven tracks for the label, the band have always acknowledged Heavenly’s role in their evolution from Valleys punk rock anomalies to most talked about band in Britain in the space of seven months. Spectators was the first time the Manics stretched out, slowed down and showed they were capable of so much more than glorious, visceral rock’n’roll. Following Motown Junk, Spectators of Suicide was Manic Street Preachers' next step to greatness.

This new version of Spectators of Suicide was recorded to coincide with the publication of Believe In Magic: The First Thirty Years of Heavenly Recordings. It features Heavenly artist Gwenno on guest vocals singing both an English and a Welsh version of the original lyrics and Rhys Edwards on additional guitar. It was produced by Loz Williams at Door to the River Studios and mixed by Dave Eringa.
