    'From Dust To Light' is the first official live album from cult French post-punk band Corpus Delicti, celebrating their triumphant reunion in 2022 after a 25-year absence. Recorded in Mexico City in April 2023, during a sold-out concert in front of 1,200 people, this live album of 17 tracks on vinyl and 15 on CD perfectly captures the incredible energy the band has developed on stage today. After their Edinburgh show. in early 2024, the Ghothpostpunkrevival website summed up the concert with these words: "A scintillating fusion of magic, music and drama that few other bands of any era can achieve."

    Formed in Nice in 1992 around Sébastien (vocals), Franck (guitar), Chrys (bass) and Roma (drums), Corpus Delicti immediately made a name for themselves with a brand of rock that was little represented in France, via their first album, 'Twilight' (1993), which has become a benchmark for the genre. Fusing the best of post-punk with remarkable energy, creativity and melody, the band won acclaim abroad with a 10- date US tour and concerts in Europe. After two more perfect albums, the band broke up in 1997.

    25 years later, with their popularity having grown steadily over the years, the original quartet reunited after signing with the American label Cleopatra, who were preparing to reissue the band's catalogue. Roma, the drummer, could no longer play for health reasons and was replaced by Laurent Tamagno, drummer for M83 among others.

    In 2022/2023, Corpus Delicti finally came back to life live, with a series of concerts and sell-outs all over the world: Paris (La Maroquinerie), London, Madrid, Athens, Rome... 30 dates in all, including a triumphant Mexican tour. Then there were the big summer festivals in Germany, Portugal and Belgium, with thousands of people in attendance. The end of the year saw the release of a brand new single, 'Chaos', which was warmly welcomed by fans around the world.

    By early 2024, the band's growing popularity had taken them to over 2 million streams worldwide, and they gave another series of iconic concerts, including one in Manchester Cathedral in February and a sold-out Trabendo in front of a rapturous Parisian audience in May 2025. Corpus Delicti are currently working on a new album.
