Band Info
Corpus Delicti are a French band formed in Nice in 1992. Its members are Sébastien (vocals), Franck (guitar), Chrys (bass) and Roma (drums). Their debut album Twilight (1993) became a benchmark for the post-punk rock genre.
After two more albums, they broke up in 1997 but the cult around Corpus Delicti continued to grow. A comprehensive biography (La Déliquescence des ombres by Tony Leduc-Gugnalons) was published by Camion Blanc in 2011. In 2019, the American label Cleopatra signed the band for a series of reissues.
In 2020, 23 years after their split, the original quartet resumed rehearsals with the aim of returning to the stage. Unfortunately, the pandemic and Roma's health problems (osteoarthritis of the hands) decided otherwise and the band had to find a new drummer. Corpus Delicti finally came back to life live, with a first sold-out concert on 7 May 2022 at the MJC Picaud in Cannes. This date kicked off a series of sold-out concerts: London, Rome, Madrid, Athens, Paris and Mexico City. This was followed by major summer festivals in Germany, Portugal and Belgium.
In 2023, they released a new single, "Chaos". In 2024, the band played in Manchester Cathedral and went on tour throughout Latin America, in Peru, Costa Rica, Colombia and a return to Mexico City. At the end of the year, the band captured these concerts on record, with the release of a double live album recorded in Mexico City in 2023 and entitled From Dust to Light, followed by a new single, "A Fairy Lie".
The band will be releasing a new album, Liminal, on 28 November 2025.
