We’ll be dust again, In the end
Depeche Mode have surprised fans with the sudden release of “In The End,” a previously unreleased song from the Memento Mori sessions. Arriving just ahead of the band’s upcoming concert film Depeche Mode: M—which opens in cinemas and IMAX on October 28—the track offers a final meditation on the era’s themes of loss, endurance, and the fragile beauty of persistence.
A mid-tempo counterpart to “Ghosts Again,” the track pairs Dave Gahan’s cool, rhythmic delivery with dirgeful synths, slick percussion, and an undercurrent of icy organ tones that echo through the mix like a souflul requiem. Recorded during the 2022 Memento Mori sessions but ultimately left off the final tracklist, “In The End” first appeared unexpectedly over the closing credits of Depeche Mode: M during its world premiere at Tribeca Festival earlier this year—immediately sparking fan speculation about a wider release. Now officially available worldwide as of October 24, the studio version serves as a haunting epilogue to Memento Mori’s meditations on mortality, regret, and renewal.
“In The End” leads a set of four Memento Mori outtakes—alongside “Survive,” “Life 2.0,” and“Give Yourself To Me”—to be issued as bonus material with the forthcoming Memento Mori: Mexico City live album, out this December via Columbia Records. The release coincides with Depeche Mode: M, director Fernando Frías’s cinematic chronicle of the band’s three sold-out nights at Mexico City’s Foro Sol Stadium. Expanding Memento Mori’s meditations on mortality, the film intertwines live performances with evocative imagery inspired by Mexico’s Day of the Dead—blending scenes of ritual, devotion, and cultural remembrance into a striking visual requiem.
Both the Memento Mori: Mexico City live album and Depeche Mode: M will arrive on December 5, with the film available on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital platforms the same day.
