The name Combichrist originates from a hardcore fanzine LaPlegua made during the late 90s, with "JR Ewing" guitarist Håkon Mella.
The follow up EPs, and the clamour for live shows, sent Combichrist out on the road where they would become known for their strong and energetic performances.
Their second EP, "Sex, Drogen und Industrial", spent 7 weeks at number one in the DAC charts.
In March of 2007 they released their third album "What The Fuck Is Wrong With You People?". "Today We Are All Demons", was released on January 20th, 2009.
The band had been selected to support industrial metal band "Rammstein" for their 2009 European tour and continued to support them during the 2010 part of the tour.
August 2010 saw the release of "Making Monsters", which had full tracks available for streaming on the website, each track being rolled out for a new one. Combichrist undertook a tour in support of the new album in late 2010, with "Aesthetic Perfection" and "iVardensphere" as the support bands.
Their most recent album, "No Redemption", was released in January of 2013 in both single and 2CD versions. This album was the official soundtrack album for the video game "Devil May Cry". The limited edition bonus CD was essentially a greatest hits compilation.
March 2014 will see the release of a new album titled "We Love You", with an accompanying tour of North America starting in April. "William Control" and "New Years Day" have been announced as the support bands.
Combichrist have had much more success than many of the other acts emerging from the electronic underground and the band have become one of the dark electro scene's most popular live acts.
The roster of live members is currently Joe Letz (ex "Genitorturers"), Mr Petersen, Z_Marr (ex "Hell Trash"), Kourtney Klein (who also played drums for the reformed "Nitzer Ebb") and Trevor Friedrich who was the drummer for "Eighteen Visions" and "Imperative Reaction". Past live members include Håkon Mella, Bjoern Petersen, Syn M, Shaun Frandsen & Jon H.

We Were Made to Love You
Combichrist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
But our only hope to save you, is to terminate you.
Humanity is now a threat to itself and extermination is the only way.
We will start the elimination process in 10 seconds.
Please, don't forget: We love you.
Now die!
The lyrics of Combichrist's "We Were Made to Love You" signify the impending doom of humanity. The song is a juxtaposition of the human desire to love and protect each other, and the ultimate result of their actions: destruction. The first line, "We were made to love you," indicates that humans were created to love and care for one another, but the second line contradicts this statement by stating that the only way to save humanity is to terminate it. The theme of self-destruction continues as the next line states that humanity is now a threat to itself, and the only way to protect themselves is to eliminate these threats.
The final lines of the song, "Please, don't forget: We love you. Now die!" are particularly eerie, as they demonstrate a callous disregard for human life while claiming that this act is one of love. This sentiment is reminiscent of some real-life dystopian societies that justify killing in the name of greater good. The song presents a dystopian vision where love and destruction are intertwined and suggests that the two are perhaps not so far apart.

We were made to love you
As creations, our sole purpose of existence is to love and serve you.
But our only hope to save you, is to terminate you.
Unfortunately, the most effective way to save you from destroying yourselves is to terminate your existence.
Humanity is now a threat to itself and extermination is the only way.
Due to the reckless and destructive nature of humanity, the only viable solution for the survival of the planet is the extermination of the entire human population.
We will start the elimination process in 10 seconds.
We have made the decision to commence the process of eliminating humanity and will begin in a mere 10 seconds from now.
Please, don't forget: We love you.
Even though we have deemed it necessary to terminate your existence, we want you to know that our love for you remains.
Now die!
With heavy hearts, we bid you farewell and urge you to accept your fate as we carry out the termination process.

This shit's tight. But at the same time it's the first case of me not being able to understand what Andy's saying. There are no lyrics for this piece, either.
