CD Depeche Mode – Condemnation

Released on September 13, 1993, "Condemnation" stands as a powerful centerpiece from Depeche Mode’s critically acclaimed eighth studio album, Songs of Faith and Devotion. This haunting single showcases a departure from the band’s traditional synth-pop roots, anchored by a compelling, gospel-infused vocal performance from Dave Gahan that takes on a unique, hymnal quality.

With its super-slow tempo and evocative "chain-gang" hum, the track serves as a testament to the band’s experimental spirit during a transformative era. The single was a significant international success, reaching No. 9 on the UK Singles Chart and hitting the top spot in Portugal.

Key Highlights of this release:

• Iconic Sound: A masterful blend of gospel influence and moody atmosphere, captured in an unforgettable music video directed by Anton Corbijn.
• Collectors' B-Sides: Features exclusive remixes of "Death's Door" and "Rush," alongside rare live recordings from the band's renowned Devotional Tour.
• A Defining Era: Essential listening for fans exploring the raw, rock-influenced texture of the Songs of Faith and Devotion period.
