Another cut from their 1987 (I think) album, "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun". At first this band got love from Goths mainly, but their fame grew exponentially with each subsequent album.

And the exceptional "Host of Seraphim". This was recorded just a few years later than the previous track. Their back catalogue is amazing; I'm only sharing a choice few.

The most emotionally cathartic modern gospel song. Depeche Mode's "Condemnation", from 1993. The lead singer Dave Gahan was struggling with heroin addiction when he sang this; boy it must have been a visceral experience for him committing this to tape. I read a journalist's review of the 'Mode's music back in 1994, saying, "We have heavy rock, and heavy metal. Now we have heavy plastic.". I don't know if the reviewer sought to deride the band, but I kinda loved the chutzpah of the comment.
