Black Celebration is the fifth studio album by Depeche Mode, originally released on 17th March, 1986 by Mute Records.

Black Celebration is the album where Depeche Mode finally came of age. The innocent synth pop of youth was suddenly engulfed in a dark perverse world of bleak atmospherics and seedy lust. The Basildon boys had given up the Friday nights in local Youth Clubs for fetish clubs in Berlin.
