Klappentext

Depeche Mode: the unassuming pioneers of 1980s British electro-pop whose music has seduced millions across the globe.

Emerging at the dawn of the 1980s, Depeche Mode's rise to stardom saw them share their dark, venal songs of sex, religion, obsession and death with legions of fans. Despite their success, it was not an easy ride, with the band facing self-doubt, ill health, and addiction along the way.

Depeche Mode: Faith & Devotion charts the group's history across nearly five decades. Hear from members Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher and Alan Wilder, along with many others via archive interviews, and relive the music via profiles of every album, from their debut Speak & Spell to 2023's Memento Mori.

Now updated with a final chapter celebrating the band's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, and reflecting on Fletcher's passing in 2022, Depeche Mode: Faith & Devotion is an extraordinary history of a global synth-rock phenomenon, and an essential read for fans of the band.
