Depeche Mode have shared a new, Anton Corbijn-directed video for their Memento Mori track “Before We Drown.” Quite appropriately, the gloomy black-and-white visual features an overcoated person wading into a treacherous sea – before drowning themselves.
This latest Depeche Mode music video follows a series of collaborations between the band and Corbijn for Memento Mori. They've worked on the videos for “Wagging Tongue” (also made with the Sacred Egg) and “Ghosts Again.”

Anton Corbijn, who is Dutch, is known for his photography and film directing. His feature films include Control (2007), A Most Wanted Man (2014), and The American (2010). Besides directing several Depeche Mode videos throughout the years, he's also known for directing Nirvana's famous visual for "Heart-Shaped Box" and Coldplay's video for "Viva La Vida."
As well as dropping the new video for "Before We Drown," Depeche Mode also performed the track live for the first time over the weekend. The moment took place during their gig at The O2 in London on Saturday (January 27) – their second night at the venue following an opening show on January 22. "Before We Drown" was the eighth song on their 24-song setlist, and came following tracks "Walking In My Shoes," "Policy Of Truth," and "It’s No Good."
Depeche Mode has made a tour of late-night TV shows behind Memento Mori. They have had slots on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The Essex band has also shared a series of remix’s from the LP, including a Wet Leg take on “Wagging Tongue.”
