"All is quiet, the motion's cold. I face the wind as I'm taking the road."
In the shadowed corridors of gothic rock, there are names whispered like incantations—legends that burned briefly yet left scars that refuse to fade. Corpus Delicti, born in Nice in 1992, carved such a mark. With Sébastien’s spectral voice, Franck’s serrated guitars, Chrys’s pulsating basslines, and Roma’s relentless drums, they conjured a sound that was both fierce and fragile, melodic and merciless. Their debut Twilight (1993) was no mere record—it was a beacon in the night, a benchmark that secured their place beside the eternal giants of the genre. Though their flame seemed to dim in 1997, time only deepened the shadows around them. While other names flickered out, the cult of Corpus Delicti grew stronger, sustained by faithful devotees across the globe. Revered as France’s dark emissaries in a pantheon dominated by Bauhaus, The Cure, and Joy Division, their legacy survived in whispers, reissues, and the trembling hands of collectors. Then, like revenants breaking through the veil, they returned. The year 2022 brought resurrection: sold-out halls from Cannes to Mexico City, voices united from continents apart, the past colliding with the present in a wave of devotion. Streaming numbers soared, festivals opened their gates, and the once-broken silence was filled again with haunting grooves that had never truly died. Now, three decades after Twilight, Corpus Delicti rise once more—armed with new songs (Chaos, A Fairy Lie), a forthcoming album ‘Liminal’, and the same unwavering spirit that first set their darkness ablaze. They are no relics of the past, but living proof that shadows, once summoned, never truly vanish. At Peek-A-Boo Magazine, we had the pleasure of delving into the depths with the band, speaking of their past, their resurrection, and the echoes yet to come:CORPUS DELICTI • interview • 2025 • Peek-A-Boo Magazine
