About
- Sami and Joss are Corpse Lights. Corpse Lights is a project that was conceived in the wake of their previous band, Woe. They flit between the guises of band and sound designers, and have collaborated with numerous practitioners working in film, theatre and fine art.
Their work to date has been a vibrant organisation of the environment in which they have immersed themselves; taking visions from Dungeons and Dragons, Varèse, early computer games, and modern Outsider culture.
Using a haphazard array of ancient and current synthesiser technology, their various sorcerous tangents weave distorted tapestries of sound, embodying their frenetic mental energy.
Wailing synthesisers tremble beneath inhuman voices, empowering Corpse Lights to send out waves of Hex-hop that lap at the shores of the spirit world.

"Corpse Lights – a band that has materialised, without warning, with one of the best releases of the last few months." [www.thelineofbestfit.com]
“Theirs is a sound that seems unhindered by the premise of genre.” [www.lostlostlost.com]
Theatre of the Damned Present “Revenge of the Grand Guignol”:
Composition and sound design by Corpse Lights can be heard in Theatre Of the Damned’s play “Revenge of the Grand Guignol”, currently running from 24th October to 27th November at the Courtyard Theatre as part of the London Horror Festival. Their work on this production has been nominated for an Off West End award.

“The best thing in the production is the atmosphere created by the sinister drones echoes and distant screams on the audio track. I am no expert in audio analysis, but I found it deeply unsettling and perfectly judged. It was loud and abrasive when it needed to be, subtle and unnerving at times too. Capturing the standard groans and shrieks of a horror soundtrack and accompanying them with some industrial clunks, some white noise and of course the obligatory crow.” [Review of “Revenge of the Grand Guignol” by www.thegoodreview.co.uk]
