Main article: The Darker Shades of White

Corpus Christi titled their debut album The Darker Shades of White and released it on Victory Records. One song from the album, "Fight for Your King", received a music video. Halfway through the 2009 Scream the Prayer 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. Following the tour, the band found a replacement drummer, Peter Keres. Vocalist Will Henry left the band and former Agraceful vocalist Chris Roetter filled in as the vocalist for the remaining shows on the tours.

A Feast for Crows (2010–2012)

Main article: A Feast for Crows (album)

On June 29, the band released the first single, called "Monuments", off of the new album, titled A Feast for Crows. The album was released by Victory Records on July 6, 2010. Guitarist and vocalist Jarrod Christman was the only remaining member from their first release The Darker Shades of White.

Unreleased album and inactivity (2012–2016)

As of 2023, however, no new album has been released.
