Corpus Delicti (Nice)

Corpus Delicti

It was thanks to the second wave of cold and darkness that swept through rock in the early 90s, that Corpus Delicti came to life in Nice, France - a city yet better known for its beaches and carnival than for its music scene. Corpus Delicti was the exception !

​In the midst of a dark music revival (then labeled "dark wave"), the quartet made a strong impression with their first album "Twilight" in 1993: carried by an evocative and distinctive voice - in which Bowie's influence is already evident, the group's melodic and hard-hitting gothic rock fuses the best of the great alumni of the genre (Bauhaus, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Christian Death, The Cure) with an energy, creativity and sense of melody that will quickly allow them to stand out from second-rate bands which then start to appear in Europe…
