CORPUS DELICTI - Liminal (CD/Vinyl/Digital) (Season of Mist) Emerging from the dimly lit streets of Nice in 1992, Corpus Delicti came together as if drawn by unseen forces: Sébastien on vocals, Franck on guitar, Chrys on bass, and Roma on drums. Their debut albumTwilight (1993) placed them firmly on themap of European gothic rock.The band quicklybecame known for a sound that blended strongmelodies with a darker post-punk edge. With Liminal, released thirty years after their last studio album Obsessions (1995), Corpus Delicti step once more into the night air [...] Written and recorded over two years while the band crossed continents,the new album reflects the resonance of the world they travelled through. It underscores that Corpus Delicti stand not as ghosts of a distant era but as a living force. It is a work that carries their unmistakable imprint: an evolution shaped by lives lived, roads travelled, and years of experience.You hear it in the clarity of the edges, in the restraint within the arrangements,and in themodern haze that threads through the production.Liminal carries the same spirit that defined Corpus Delicti in the nineties, now approached with a maturity that folds time into the music, proving that their essence remains firmly etched in dark music history. [HC] XPQ-21 -Overgod (CD/Digital) (Trisol) Born from the EDM, techno and rave scene, with their first performance in 1998. Silence followed from 2006 onward. Today, 19 years later, there’s a brand-new album. Jeyênne has navigatedmany electronic subgenres,yet remains loyal to a fewcore principles—even though his sound branches out widely: fromrawEBM to drum’n’bass influences,EDMand fierce techno outbursts.‘Overgod’ is a hefty piece of work containing 17 tracks. It quickly becomes clear that Jeyênne is deeply rooted in the wide spectrum of electronic music. From easily digestible darkwave like Dance The Devil, to the drum’n’bass-driven title track Overgod — with a distinctly pitch-black undertone —and Perfect, which shares the same backbone, all the way to atmospheric pieces such as First Rain on Mars and The Expoequivalent-Beta. Industrial influences are not avoided either. […] It all sounds truly (and honestly) authentic. The more dance/techno-oriented tracks resonate with me less; the heavier ones, much more. What remains undeniable is that XPQ-21 still breathes electro.And after 19 years, this album firmly stands its ground. [JB] MESH - Exile (Digital single) (Dependent) 'Exile' is the preliminary and brand new single from UK synth-pop /electro combo Mesh taken from the forthcoming album The Truth Doesn't Matter will be. Exile doesn’t hide its strength — it just doesn’t shout. This is a strong track, confident and grounded, built on a solid synth backbone that carries real emotional weight. It’s focused, direct, and quietly powerful,with Mesh sounding absolutely sure of what they’re doing.No filler, no excess — just a song that knows exactlywhere it’s going.As the opening statement for the upcoming album The Truth Doesn’t Matter, out on 27 March 2026, Exile sets expectations high. It sounds like a band fully aware of its identity and comfortable leaning into depth instead of spectacle. Mesh will presenting this new single and albumduring their 2026 tour in the UK& Europe in April &May.
