Soulsavers is the music and production team of Rich Machin and Ian Glover. THE LIGHT THE DEAD SEE is the bands fourth studio album, but the first to feature vocals from Dave Gahan, frontman of Depeche Mode. The first two Soulsavers album featured vocals from Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees. The two parties met in 2009 when Soulsavers opened for Depeche Mode during their vast Tour of the Universe, and immediately warmed to each other - Dave started writing and recorded his own vocals in New York, then Machin built up the results into fully-formed arranged epics. As Machin says, the international project was a case of "chemistry working".
