On 30th October Depeche Mode return to the fore with the stunning single 'Martyr' - their first new material since the international Number 1 album 'Playing The Angel'. Taken from the eagerly awaited Best Of collection, it's a powerful, hypnotic track written by Martin Gore and deftly confirms the band's iconic status. Produced by Ben Hillier, of Doves and Blur fame, the new single is unrelenting, absolute Depeche Mode and sits immaculately amongst their luminous history. Surging with incandescent synths, a razor-sharp hook and Dave Gahan's emotive claims of being "a martyr for love", it is both irresistible and irrepressible.
