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.

Tired of Hating You
Combichrist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just told you to relax
I was digging with my hands
To survive another day
And I never did complain
I was hoping to dig deep enough
All the way through get to other side
To get all the way through
I always choked on limitations
And spitting out the truth
And there's been plenty of
Words said about me
And very few of them are true
I'm not the parasite
And you know it to be true
I'm not the parasite i think it must be you
I have evolved with the truth
And set back by every lie
No point in turning back i was so blind
I was dead in this prison called a life
I was poisoned by your eyes
I'm not the parasite
And you know it to be true
I'm not the parasite i think it must be you
I'm not the parasite
And you know it to be true
Nothing is what it oughta be
Full destruction seems to follow me
There is nothing left to say about it
We're so far away
I'm just tired of hating you
After living in the rain
I'm not the parasite
And you know it to be true
Nothing is what it oughta be
Full destruction seems to follow me
There is nothing left to say about it
We're so far away
I'm just tired of hating you
After living in the rain
I'm not the parasite i'm not the parasite

Line by Line Meaning
As I was falling to the ground, I dug a grave
While I was experiencing difficulties, I metaphorically buried my troubles
I just told you to relax
I simply advised you to calm down
I was digging with my hands
I was putting in effort manually
To survive another day
In order to continue living
And I never did complain
I never expressed dissatisfaction
I was hoping to dig deep enough
My aspiration was to dig extensively
All the way through get to other side
To completely reach the opposite end
There was only so much I could have done
I had limitations to what I could achieve
To get all the way through
To fully succeed
I always choked on limitations
I consistently struggled with restrictions
And spitting out the truth
Expressing the unadulterated reality
And there's been plenty of
There have been numerous
Words said about me
Statements made concerning my character
And very few of them are true
With most of them being falsehoods
I'm not the parasite
I am not the one who feeds off others
And you know it to be true
And you acknowledge this fact
I'm not the parasite i think it must be you
I believe it is you who embodies parasitic behavior
I have evolved with the truth
I have grown and developed through honesty
And set back by every lie
Negatively impacted by each falsehood
No point in turning back i was so blind
There is no use in going back; I was unaware
I was dead in this prison called a life
I felt trapped and lifeless in my existence
I was poisoned by your eyes
Your gaze had a detrimental effect on me
Nothing is what it oughta be
Everything is not as it should be
Full destruction seems to follow me
Complete ruin appears to be constantly with me
There is nothing left to say about it
There are no more words to express regarding this matter
We're so far away
We are emotionally distant
I'm just tired of hating you
I am simply exhausted from harboring animosity towards you
After living in the rain
Having endured difficult circumstances
I'm not the parasite i'm not the parasite
I want to reiterate that I am not the one who feeds off others
