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.

Now are That We're Suffer
The lyrics of Pull the Pin by Combichrist are rather cryptic, and they seem to revolve around suffering and death. The chorus repeats the phrase "Die... We Die... Just Die..." over and over again, emphasizing the inevitability of death and the suffering that comes with it. The lines "Now are That We're Suffer" further reinforce this theme of pain and agony, as though the singer is resigned to their fate and understands that suffering is an essential component of the human experience.
The repetition of these phrases creates a sense of urgency and desperation, almost as though the singer is screaming out for release from their torment. The lyrics of Pull the Pin can be interpreted in a number of different ways, but the most obvious interpretation is one of existential angst and nihilism. The singer seems to have accepted their mortality and the futility of existence, and they are urging others to do the same.
Overall, Pull the Pin is a bleak and intense song that explores themes of death, suffering, and nihilism. The lyrics are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest a kind of resigned acceptance of the inevitable.
