Depeche Mode offer more songs of faith and devotion on their twelfth studio album Sounds of the Universe.
Depeche Mode formed in 1980 Basildon, Essex, England by founding members Vince Clarke, Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher.
After the departure of Clarke, who went on to have success with Yazoo and Erasure, Gore took over as principle songwriter, Alan Wilder joined and the band quickly distanced itself from its pop-oriented new wave sound in favor of more industrial electronica.
Over the course of their long and tempestuous career band tension, substance abuse and the strain of remaining relevant didn’t stop Depeche Mode from creating some of the darkest and inspirational synthpop of the last 30 years influencing bands as divers as The Pet Shop Boys and Radiohead.
After 1990’s breakthrough album Violator, Depeche Mode stopped making music for the masses. Deciding he wanted to be a rock star, lead singer Gahan grew out his locks and dumped the keyboards base in favor of louder guitars. The new rockier gave Depeche Mode their first number one album in America, Songs of Faith and Devotion, but nearly caused the band to break up.
Their downfall, including a suicide attempt by Gahan, occurred to be more of a black celebration. When they did return to the studio as a trio following the departure of Wilder, their added edge allowed them to deepen the music they made best: deep, dark melodramatic electronica filled with lyrics devoted to the struggles of finding inner peace.
