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.

Feed Your Anger
Combichrist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you think he is dead?
Do you think we can leave him like this,
or Should we chop off his head?
I know you like it when I’m covered in blood,
on your knees with a gun to your head.
I let you know that your no means yes, babe,
And your tears are fake.
The night is young.
Is there anything else we can do for fun?
Kill a body of doom,
fucking high on the tomb,
make you gag on a gun.
Feed your anger.
A real demon girl.
Why don’t you soak that angel’s wings in blood?
I know you’re ready for this,
I’ve seen you licking your lips,
all you need is to nod your head.
Feed your anger, feed your anger.
Feed your anger, feed your anger.
The lyrics to Combichrist's song, "Feed Your Anger," paint a dark and disturbing picture of aggression, violence, and sadism. The first stanza describes a scene where two people (presumably the singer and their partner) come across a bloody and possibly dead individual. They are then presented with a moral dilemma - should they leave the person to die or kill them themselves? This opening verse sets the tone for the rest of the song and foreshadows the violent acts that the singer later describes.
From the second verse onward, the focus shifts to the singer's relationship with their partner. The lyrics suggest that the singer derives pleasure from their partner's submission and that they enjoy seeing them in pain. The line, "I let you know that your no means yes" implies that the partner's consent is not important to the singer and that they are willing to engage in non-consensual acts. The rest of the lyrics are filled with graphic descriptions of violent and sexual acts that feed the singer's anger and sadism.
Overall, the lyrics to "Feed Your Anger" are disturbing and unsettling. They depict a world where violence, aggression, and sadism are normalized and celebrated. The song serves as a critique of the way that society glamorizes and fetishizes violence and suggests that our obsession with these themes is a reflection of a larger cultural problem.
