Manic Street Preachers deliver unreleased song "Studies in Paralysis" from Know Your Enemy sessions

Manic Street Preachers have shared a previously unheard song titled "Studies in Paralysis", which is lifted from the upcoming expanded and remastered version of their 2001 album Know Your Enemy.

"Studies in Paralysis" follows last month's "Rosebud" track, and was left off the original Know Your Enemy album despite being recorded at London's Miloco Studios. The unearthed song is teamed with a video by Kieran Evans, which uses footage from the Miloco Studios sessions.

The upcoming reissue has been entirely remixed and reconstructed to form two separate albums as the band originally intended, titled Solidarity and Door To The River. Nicky Wire found the original tapes while going through the band's archive to put together an anniversary edition of their 2001 Know Your Enemy album.

"Studies in Paralysis"" is out now. Manic Street Preachers' expanded and remastered reissue of Know Your Enemy will arrive on 9 September via Columbia Records, and is available to pre-order now.
