In the early days of Depeche Mode\u2019s career, many dismissed the group as the kind of fluffy new wave electropop that was as inconsequential and easily discarded as chewed up bubblegum. Opinions began to change, with the band\u2019s fourth album, 1984\u2019s Some Great Reward, which featured edgier production and lyrical themes of BDSM (\u201cMaster & Servant\u201d), persecution (\u201cPeople Are People\u201d) and, most powerfully, religious disillusionment on the controversial closing track \u201cBlasphemous Rumours.\u201d

Swedish industrial icon Skold knows a thing or two about controversy. As a member of Marilyn Manson\u2019s band and even in his solo career, Skold has courted the wrath of the religious community for his use of spiritual imagery in both his album artwork and lyrics. Thus, it\u2019s no surprise that DM\u2019s \u201cBlasphemous Rumours\u201d would resonate with Skold, and no surprise also that his cover version would have an even sharper bite than the original. Following Priest\u2019s version of \u201cPersonal Jesus,\u201d Skold\u2019s take on \u201cBlasphemous Rumours\u201d is the second single to be released from the forthcoming All I Ever Wanted – A Tribute To Depeche Mode, which will feature even more incredible covers by Lebanon Hanover, Xiu Xiu, The KVB and more! Also keep an ear out for a brand new Skold album coming later this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
