"Enjoy the Silence" by Lacuna Coil

 

Milan, Italy gothic metal band Lacuna Coil released their version of Essex, UK new wave techno pop band Depeche Mode's 1990 single "Enjoy the Silence" on their 2006 album "Karmacode."

After the first verse, the band employ a technique known as "backmasking." 

If you isolate the backward vocal track and reverse it, you'll hear a recipe for a really ripping lentil soup.

For another Depeche Mode cover, Def Leppard's version of "Personal Jesus" can be found here.

"Personal Jesus" by Def Leppard

 Sheffield, UK hard rock band Def Leppard has been performing together since 1977.

Spotify introduced their Singles collections in 2016.

So, bare minimum, 39 years elapsed between the band forming and their release of the cover version of synth pop pioneers Depeche Mode's 1989 electro dance smash "Personal Jesus."

In that wide span of time, you'd think that lead singer Joe Elliott would master the art of circular breathing.

But, no.

Each trip to the microphone, he sounds like Michael Phelps in the middle of the 200m Butterfly.
