LIMINAL: the heart of Corpus Delicti

« To remain true to oneself, to one’s identity, to one’s art. Liminal is the proof, the statement. Thirty years later, the sound is still as deep, as intense »
We discovered them in the ’90s, or sometimes much later. We attended their first concerts… or didn’t. A void, an illusion: a cult band, as powerful as it was ephemeral. Three albums played on repeat across the four corners of the world, and a song that slips into the most intimate gatherings of the underground scene. A fake scarab carved into our imagination. And thirty years later, a monstrous album.
If 2022 marked Corpus Delicti’s return to the stage, it also began a long pilgrimage: that of a group of fans who have followed them ever since on their musical journey. Since then, we have crossed Europe —and sometimes even continents— to see them play. Music lovers, writers, DJs, journalists, artists, friends, English, French, German, Belgian, Italian, Polish, American, Mexican, Chilean, Colombian…
We found each other again in Paris under the rain, eager to hear their new album live, to witness not a comeback this time, but a rebirth. We recognised one another: Nice? WGT? Paris? How many of their concerts have we followed? We became a Corpus Delicti community without even noticing.
To remain true to oneself, to one’s identity, to one’s art. Liminal is the proof, the statement. Thirty years later, the sound is still as deep, as intense. Tracks that resonate like a déjà vu, that you want to learn by heart, that you listen to on repeat.
If the live album From Dust to Light captures the essence of Corpus Delicti’s musical journey in meeting their audience, Liminal seizes the soul of its creators, of their musical crossing — and becomes its heart.
