The Snake Corps’ 1985 debut album Flesh on Flesh is being reissued in 2026 across two formats: an expanded and remastered CD via Iconoclassic Records (catalog ICON 1093) featuring seven bonus tracks and new liner notes by Mick Mercer, and a limited clear-vinyl pressing through Lantern Rec. for Record Store Day 2026. The British post-punk outfit, formed in 1984 by members including vocalist Marc Lewis and guitarist Tristan Garel-Funk, crafted a sound distinguishing them from contemporaries like Sad Lovers & Giants through heavier, more gothic-rock-oriented instrumentation and dramatic vocal delivery. Originally released on Midnight Music, the album remained a cult favorite within European post-punk and darkwave circles despite limited mainstream recognition. Lewis’s commanding vocal presence transformed tracks such as Victory Parade and Look East for Eden into sweeping emotional statements while maintaining underground credibility. The reissue marks the CD’s first pressing in over 35 years, restoring this influential work to physical circulation.
