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.

I Want Your Blood
Combichrist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every breath you take belongs to me
Sell me your soul for a life in sin
Discipline, the state of mind you're in
I want your blood, I want your soul
I want them both right now
I want your blood, I want your soul
I want them both right now
All the moans that you gasp are only for me
Obey, kneel down, I'm in complete control
Your body says stop while your eyes says go
Discipline, on your knees, I want your soul
I want your blood, I want your soul
I want them both right now
I want your blood, I want your soul
I want them both right now
I want your blood, I want your soul
I want them both right now
I want your blood, I want your soul
I want them both right now
I want your blood, I want your soul
I want them both right now
I want your blood, I want your soul
I want them both right now
There is no fear, tension will ignite
And there is no point, no use putting up a fight
Free yourself from mortal pain, no free will, no void to fill
Fantasy becomes reality, fulfillment through submission
I want your blood, I want your soul
I want them both right now
I want your blood, I want your soul
I want them both right now
I want your blood, I want your soul
I want them both right now
