Get ready for an exciting announcement from the iconic band Depeche Mode! They're about to drop a new documentary film titled 'M', accompanied by a traditional concert film and live album, 'Memento Mori: Mexico City'. This release is a treat for fans, offering a unique blend of music and culture.
'M', directed by Mexican filmmaker Fernando Frías, delves into the heart of Mexican culture's relationship with death. It's a captivating journey, featuring live performances by Depeche Mode during their 'Memento Mori' tour. The film seamlessly integrates concert footage with interpretive segments and archive material, creating a truly immersive experience. And for those who want to witness it on the big screen, 'M' will also have a limited theatrical release.
'Memento Mori: Mexico City' is a full-length concert film, over two hours long, capturing the band's electrifying performances in Mexico City in 2023. With over 200,000 fans in attendance, it promises to be an unforgettable watch.
The four-disc packages offer a complete experience. The first Blu-ray or DVD features 'M', followed by the concert film on the second disc. The live album, spread across two CDs, serves as the soundtrack to the Mexico City concert film. But here's where it gets controversial: the live album includes four previously unreleased studio recordings from the 'Memento Mori Sessions'. These tracks, titled 'Survive', 'Life 2.0', 'Give Yourself To Me', and 'In The End', are a major draw for fans and collectors alike.
If you're solely interested in the live album, you can grab it as a standalone 2CD or as a 4LP set, with various colored editions available. And this is the part most people miss: the live album is a great way to discover the new studio tracks without committing to the full video package.
'M' and 'Memento Mori: Mexico City' are set to release on December 5, 2025, via Sony. Pre-orders are now open, and fans can choose from a variety of formats and editions. The pricing and availability vary across different regions and online stores, so be sure to check the links provided for the best deals.
Depeche Mode continues to innovate and engage with their fans, offering a unique blend of music, culture, and visual storytelling. This release is a testament to their enduring legacy and the power of their live performances. So, are you ready to dive into the world of 'M' and 'Memento Mori: Mexico City'?
