Time really flies if you think about it as Welsh Manic Street Preachers will be celebrating this year their 21st birthday.
Outside the UK their success has been in decline but overseas they still can claim to be one of the big boys.
To celebrate this event, Manic Street Preachers will release a compilation named "National Treasures, the complete singles collection".
The album will also contain a brand new single.
In the future you better keep an eye on the agenda from our Dutch friends at Tivoli, Utrecht.
This venue that is the location for this weekend's Summer Darkness announced two gigs from the greatest gothicons on this black planet.
Wednesday 19th October plays Peter Murphy while on Friday 2 December they have Sisters Of Mercy as guest.
Information about tickets can be found at their site.
During the autumn Swedish recordlabel Progress Productions (Kite, Covenant, Necro Facility and more) will release the solo debutalbum from Henric de la Cour.
Solar Fake have just released the very fine "Frontiers"-album released on SPV.
