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.

Combichrist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you take the pain at all?
I tried to understand you girl
But you gotta earn it
Fuck it up and let it go
Get your body beat
Let your blood flow
Let your blood flow
Get your body beat
Let your blood flow
Get your body beat
Let your blood flow
Get your body beat
Doesn't matter what you say
Never understood at all
Don't give a fuck what people say
Glad your piece is just for show
Grab it's neck and don't let go
Get your body beat

The lyrics of Combichrist's song "Get Your Body Beat" are about engaging in intense physical activity and pushing oneself to the limit. The opening line, "Trick your crank to set the score," suggests that the singer is encouraging the listener to push themselves harder than they ever have before, to "set the score" and come out on top. The second line, "Can you take the pain at all?" reinforces this idea of physical challenge and endurance.
The following lines, "I tried to understand you girl / But you gotta earn it," suggest that the singer is addressing a woman specifically, and that perhaps she needs to prove herself or earn the singer's respect. The line "Fuck it up and let it go" seems to suggest that failure is a necessary part of this process - one must "fuck it up" in order to learn and grow.
Overall, the song is an anthem for pushing oneself to the limit and embracing the pain and struggle that comes with that. The repeated refrain of "Get your body beat / Let your blood flow" reinforces this idea of physical intensity and challenge.
