On Thursday evening (June 05, 2025), Depeche Mode in New York celebrated the exclusive premiere of her new concert film with the simple title “M”. Numerous fans traveled to the “Memento Mori” tour awaited a cinematic review. What they then experienced was much more than that: a previously unpublished song sounded in the credits.
To hear the secret track “at the end” for the first time
When the film came to an end, the spectators were amazed. In the background, an atmospheric poet, previously unknown song, ran, whose alleged title is “in the End” (via depechemode.de). No official release, no indication in advance. A pure surprise for those present. A recording of the credits that circuit online clearly shows that this is not just a musical fragment, but a complete, explored piece.
What happens to the other unpublished songs from “Memento Mori”?
Fans have been asking themselves for months: What did the rest of the songs have taken into Memento Mori during the sessions but have never been released? Is this a “Memento Mori” song at all? Or a completely new recording by Martin Gore and Dave Gahan? At least this question has been clarified: According to previous interviews, there are said to have been at least four more tracks that did not make it to the final album. The track “in the End”, which has now been played for the first time, is one of these outtakes.
Martin Gore talks about the “lost” songs
Following the film premiere, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore asked themselves the questions of the audience in an open panel discussion. The song “In the End” was also discussed. Martin Gore joked that he had no idea what should happen to the other three unpublished songs. His casual remark gave many fans hope that in the future there could be an EP, a special release or even a bonus album.
Secret song release and hope for more
With the surprising use of the new song “In the End” at the credits of M, Depeche Mode not only upgraded the concert film, but also sent a strong sign to her fan base: the trip is not over yet. The band plays with the expectations and specifically awakens hope for further, previously unheard of material. It remains to be seen whether and when there will be official information – only: Depeche fashion is far from over.
