In 2003 Andy LaPlegua of "Icon of Coil" wrote a few power noise/techno cross over tracks under the name of "D.R.I.V.E.". This was changed to "Combichrist" when the debut album, "The Joy of Gunz" was set to be released on Out Of Line. 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.

Falling Apart
Combichrist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I admit it conflicting now as
It was falling apart
Just like a tree melting on sun
Don't want to be sorrow rage
Still you do bizarre
No sack with whatever awoken
I will sparing now suffer condition
Back off get out of the way too late
Do you feel pity? You're standing alone
When it falling apart, falling apart
Nothing will rise admit it
You should be falling abroad
Threaten yourself but don't think a come
I move forward you performing behind
Still tricks the best tricks the beast
We are always were spoken
This is where I do blood like this
Back off get out of the way too late
Do you feel pity? You're standing alone
When it falling apart, falling apart
As it falling apart as YOU falling apaaart!
You think you're better than me
If this is apart?
You think you're better than me when
The price is so high
We both got money on paid no lust
The song "Falling Apart" by Combichrist is a powerful and intense piece that communicates the frustration and confusion of a person who finds themselves in a difficult situation. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been through some struggles and is struggling to keep things together. The line, "It was falling apart just like a tree melting on sun," creates a vivid image of something that is gradually losing its form and structure. The singer seems to be grappling with a sense of helplessness and desperation, and this is reflected in the repeated refrain of "falling apart."
Throughout the song, the singer seems to be calling out to someone else, perhaps a friend or a loved one, who they are asking to "back off" and let them deal with things on their own. They express a sense of anger and resentment towards this other person, who they feel is not helping them as much as they should be. However, despite this frustration, the singer ends the song by insisting that they are the ones in control of their own fate, saying, "As it falling apart as YOU falling apaaart! You think you're better than me/If this is apart?/You think you're better than me when/The price is so high/We both got money on paid no lust."
While the precise meaning of the song may be open to interpretation, there is no doubt that "Falling Apart" is a song that communicates a great deal of emotion and intensity. From the opening lines to the final refrain, it is a powerful statement about the struggles of life and the importance of standing up for oneself in the face of adversity.
