Depeche Mode news

Depeche Mode has confirmed the release date of its new album, Memento Mori, which will be released March 24 via Columbia Records.

Memento Mori’s arrival is heralded by first single “Ghosts Again," which was teased in Berlin in October at the Memento Mori launch event. The track is available now across digital platforms, and as an instant grat with pre-saves and pre-orders of Memento Mori - which is available for pre-order now on 2LP vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital.

“To me, ‘Ghosts Again’ just captures this perfect balance of melancholy and joy,” commented Gahan. Gore added, “It’s not often that we record a song that I just don’t get sick of listening to – I’m excited to be able to share it.”

“Ghosts Again” has been visually interpreted by longtime Depeche Mode collaborator
and Memento Mori album cover and artwork designer Anton Corbijn. Corbijn’s rendering of the song can be seen HERE

Memento Mori is Depeche Mode's 15th studio album and its first as a two-piece lineup of Gahan and Gore, following co-founder Andrew “Fletch” Fletcher’s tragic passing in 2022.

Produced by James Ford, with additional production work by Marta Salogni, Memento Mori's gestation took place during the early stages of the Covid pandemic, resulting in themes inspired directly by that period.
