Depeche Mode: New Album & Extensive Touring After Health Troubles & Internal Turmoil

A new album and tour is business as usual for Depeche Mode, which has, like clockwork, issued a full-length and embarked on a coinciding live run every four years since 1993. But the band's 13th studio set, "Delta Machine," due March 26 on new label home Columbia, was created under unusual circumstances for the veteran alt-rock group. After years of well-documented infighting, the members, including frontman Dave Gahan and chief songwriter Martin Gore, were downright giddy working with one another.
