The coming of age album for the British band Depeche Mode arrived in 1990. 
Meant to have “the most extreme, ridiculously heavy metal title we could find”, it was baptized “Violator” (pun intended, since this is the album that included the hit “Personal Jesus”, to add to the controversy).
Violator is unanimously considered the magnum opus of the band, the work that made them larger than life, selling out stadiums with 70 thousand fans.
The simple but remarkable artwork, a red flower on a black background belongs to Anton Corbijn, a long and successful partnership since he also signs 23 of the band's music videos.
