The album includes acts such as Scandinavian industrialists Priest, who released their cover of <em>Personal Jesus<\/em> in January, followed by former Marilyn Manson member Tim Skold whose version of <em>Blasphemous Rumours<\/em> landed the following month. Now, one of the biggest acts in modern electronic music, darkwave duo Lebanon Hanover, have released an ice cold take on Depeche Mode\u2019s ode to BDSM, the darkly passionate <em>Strangelove<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lebanon Hanover\u2019s well-regarded minimalist production style transforms <em>Strangelove<\/em> from an \u201880s dance club anthem into a chilly slice of sinister electronic perversion. Sung with a familiar, near deadpan tone by Lebanon Hanover\u2019s William Morris, the song\u2019s repeated refrain \u201c<em>Pain, will you return it. I\u2019ll say it again, Pain,\u201d<\/em> takes on an even more caustic quality and suffuses the entire track with a much more dramatic, modern edge than the 1987 original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morris proclaims \u201c<em>Doing the cover was a great honor, of course as Depeche Mode has had a profound effect on me since the first time I heard them. Growing up, the band was constantly by my side and Strangelove was always a big favourite of mine. So it seemed obvious to select given that chance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to the track via YouTube below or stream\/download the track <a href=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/lebanonhanover_strangelove\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H_0IYLYQppA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018All I Ever Wanted \u2013 A Tribute To Depeche Mode,\u2019 which will feature even more incredible covers by Xiu Xiu, The KVB, This Cold Night, Buzz Kull and more, will be&nbsp;released on March 17 on digital, CD, vinyl and cassette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ACF64212-03BC-48DF-8D97-FB18DC965A88.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ACF64212-03BC-48DF-8D97-FB18DC965A88.jpeg?resize=600%2C600\" alt=\"All I Ever Wanted \u2013 A Tribute To Depeche Mode Cover\" class=\"wp-image-38651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ACF64212-03BC-48DF-8D97-FB18DC965A88.jpeg?w=600 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ACF64212-03BC-48DF-8D97-FB18DC965A88.jpeg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ACF64212-03BC-48DF-8D97-FB18DC965A88.jpeg?resize=150%2C150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Track List<\/strong><br>1.
