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.

This S*it Will Fcuk You Up
Combichrist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How do you want me?
From behind
Or on my knees?
I am a slut
Please hold me down
I'll be your noise
This shit will fuck you up
The lyrics to Combichrist's song "This Shit Will Fuck You Up" are very straightforward and explicit, as lead singer Andy LaPlegua sings from the perspective of someone who is sexually submissive and enjoys being dominated. The first two lines "I am a bitch, how do you want me? From behind, or on my knees?" are a clear invitation for someone else to take control of the situation and dictate how the encounter will play out. The next two lines "I am a slut, please hold me down" continue this submissive theme.
The final line, "I'll be your noise, this shit will fuck you up" can be interpreted in a few different ways. On one hand, it could be a reference to making noise during sex, with the singer offering to be vocal and expressing pleasure. On the other hand, it could be a warning that the encounter will be intense and potentially overwhelming. Overall, the lyrics are meant to be provocative and push boundaries, with Combichrist known for their aggressive and industrial sound.
