Hand-drawn poster honouring Depeche Mode, the iconic English electronic music band of the 80s, was originally formed by Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher, and Vince Clarke. The band is currently led by Gahan and Gore.
The artwork features a skull symbolizing their latest album, Memento Mori, which delves into themes of death. Strikingly, the skull dons Dave Gahan's crown from the music video for Enjoy The Silence. From this crown, the iconic rose from the artwork of the Violator album blooms, symbolizing growth and evolution.
The rose itself is "Playing the Angel," incorporating a feather from the album of the same name. The skull's eye sockets are adorned with illustrations of our planet, inspired by the lyrics of World in My Eyes. And as the skull gazes out, it is fixated on the highest mountain mentioned in the song, painting a vivid picture of the band's lyrical depth and artistic vision.
