Released on 22 March, 1993, Songs of Faith and Devotion is the eighth studio album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode.

The album incorporated a more aggressive, darker rock-oriented tone than its predecessor Violator, largely influenced by the emerging alternative rock and grunge scenes in the United States.

Upon its release, Songs of Faith and Devotion reached #1 in several countries and became the first Depeche Mode album to debut atop the charts in both the UK and the US.

To support the album, Depeche Mode embarked on the fourteen-month-long Devotional Tour, the largest tour they had undertaken to date.
