Released on August 30, 1994, 'The Holy Bible' is the third studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers. The album delves into themes of politics, human suffering, and personal anguish, reflecting the mental state of lyricist and guitarist Richey Edwards during its creation. It was the band's last album before Edwards' disappearance in February 1995. Despite initial low sales, the album received widespread critical acclaim and has since been recognized as one of the greatest albums of all time. Fun fact: The album's cover art features a triptych painting by Jenny Saville, depicting three perspectives of an obese woman in her underwear.
