Corpus Delicti announce new album ‘Liminal’ for November 28 + UK tour in 2026
Corpus Delicti announce new album 'Liminal' for November 28
French post-punk/gothic rock band Corpus Delicti will release the new album “Liminal” on November 28, 2025. The record was produced by guitarist Franck Amendola with the band and mastered in London at The Exchange by Graeme Durham. The band calls it “an album both dark and luminous, urgent and alive,” adding that it “stays true to [their] roots while embracing a modern edge.”
The band will start its first UK tour in February 2026, with dates including Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol and more.
“Liminal” will be out on digital, CD, and multiple limited vinyl editions via the band’s official stores.
The band previously trailed the album with the single “Room 36,” and earlier returned with the 2023 single “Chaos.”
About Corpus Delicti
Corpus Delicti formed in Nice, France, in 1992 with Sébastien Pietrapiana (vocals), Franck Amendola (guitar), Christophe “Chrys” Baudrion (bass) and Laurence “Roma” Romanini (drums).
Across a compact first run (1992–1997), the band issued three studio albums in quick succession: “Twilight” (1993), “Sylphes” (1994) and “Obsessions” (1995). Early pressings appeared via Hit Import/Glasnost and Cemetery/Nightbreed in Europe, while U.S. exposure grew through Cleopatra Records, which later compiled the material as “Sarabands” (1996) and “Best Of Corpus Delicti” (1998).
Renewed international interest led Cleopatra to release the 4-CD box “The Complete Recordings 1992–1996” in July 2022, collecting the three studio albums plus rarities and live tracks, and packaged with new liner notes by former Cleopatra A&R Athan Maroulis. The same period saw the band reactivate activity in 2020 with the original core of Pietrapiana, Amendola and Baudrion; due to Roma’s health issues, live duties transitioned to drummer Laurent Tamagno.
In 2023 the group issued the single “Chaos” as a first new studio recording of the reunion phase. A first live album, “From Dust To Light,” followed on 11 October 2024 (Twilight Music Production), documenting a 2023 Mexico City concert; the release appeared on double vinyl, CD and digital services.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
