Corpus Christi is an American Christian metalcore band from Cincinnati, Ohio. The term "Corpus Christi" is Latin for "body of Christ," which fits the band's Christian lyrics. They are currently signed to a five record contract on Victory Records. Corpus Christi has been featured on TVU's weekly countdown show, TMW.
Forgoing the option of a self-titled album, Corpus Christi entitled their debut album The Darker Shades of White and released it on Victory Records. Hit songs and videos from this album include "Fight for Your King" and "Parade of Scars." Half way through the Scream The Prayer '09 tour, original drummer Justin Evans unexpectedly left the band and Aaron Eckermann, drummer from the Christian metal band A Plea For Purging, filled in for the rest of the tour. The band then found a replacement drummer, Peter Keres. Original vocalist Will Henry left the band and former Agraceful vocalist Chris Roetter filled in as the vocalist for the remaining shows on the tours.
The band's second release, entitled A Feast for Crows, brought a new type of sound from the band. Guitarist and vocalist Jarrod Christman was the only remaining member from their first release The Darker Shades of White. On June 29, the band released the first single, called "Monuments", off of the new album. The album was released by Victory Records on July 6, 2010.
In February 2012, vocalist Max O'Connell said the band was currently writing their newest album. On their Facebook page, the band said the new album should be out in either the Fall or Winter 2012. However, no album was released.
In December 2013, the band released a demo song entitled "The Glorious". The song suggested a heavier, grittier sound for their forthcoming album.
