History

The Darker Shades of White (2009–2010)

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)

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. In December 2013, the band released a demo song entitled "The Glorious". The song suggested a heavier, grittier sound for their forthcoming album. As of 2023, however, no new album has been released.

In May 2016, the band released another demo song titled "Sons of a Dynasty", after three years of silence. Corpus Christi played its first show in two years with Spirit and the Bride, Silence the Ocean and other local acts on September 9, 2016, reuniting with drummer Andy Poling who played on the A Feast for Crows album. The band's social media pages have been inactive since 2016 and no new music or tours have been announced, indicating that the band is inactive. The band's label also uses past tense to refer to the band, furthering that indication.
