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.

Kiss the Blade
Combichrist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in the night
darknesswill arise.
Behind a mask
a godless child
a force that never dies.
on the fields of blood
I'm here to slaughter my pray.
I smell your fear
and it smells so sweet
you will never get away
I am pain
I am death
Kiss the blade
feel the steel
The lyrics of Combichrist's song "Kiss The Blade" paints a picture of a dark, terrifying and sadistic character who enjoys hunting his prey under the cover of night. The first half of the verse speaks of how the character sees a glint of steel in the darkness which means that danger is about to arise. However, it is the second half of the verse that truly sets the tone for the terrifying character. The person is described as a "godless child" which could mean he is at the beginning stages of life, yet they are portrayed to be a force that never dies. This paints the character as both immortal and invincible.
The chorus goes deeper into the horrors he wants to inflict on his prey. He is out to slaughter them, and the fear he senses from them only drives him more. The last part of the chorus has him delivering a chilling message, "I am pain, I am death, kiss the blade, feel the steel." This shows that he is not just a hunter, but someone who enjoys the pain inflicted on others. It is a warning to his prey to give in while they still can.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Kiss The Blade" portrays a dark, disturbing and sadistic character that enjoys hunting his prey. His desire to inflict pain on those that he hunts shows that there is a terrifying pleasure in causing horror for others. It is a powerful portrayal of a disturbed individual who delights in preying on the innocent.
