It has frequently been featured and listed highly on lists of the best albums of all time by British music publications such as Melody Maker, NME and Q. The Holy Bible received widespread acclaim from critics and has sold over half a million copies worldwide as of 2014. It was promoted with tours and festival appearances in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands and Thailand – in part without Edwards. The Holy Bible was the band's last album released before Edwards' disappearance on 1 February 1995.Īlthough it reached number 6 in the UK Albums Chart, initially, global sales were disappointing compared to previous albums and the record did not chart in mainland Europe or North America. The songs focus on themes relating to politics and human suffering. While the album was being written and recorded, lyricist and rhythm guitarist Richey Edwards was struggling with severe depression, alcohol abuse, self-harm and anorexia nervosa, and its contents are considered by many sources to reflect his mental state. It was released on 29 August 1994 by record label Epic. The Holy Bible is the third studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers.
