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.

What the Fuck Is Wrong With You?
Combichrist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That sucked you down with your face pushed against the fence
Why don't you finish yourself, since you don't really care
Let the screams in your head be the last thing you hear
Just give it a go
Hey you, what the fuck is wrong with you? [x4]
What the fuck is wrong with you? [x3]
Part of me (part of me)
Suffocate (suffocate)

No one is innocent
Experience (experience)
Intolerance (intolerance)

Screaming faces
No one is innocent
Hey you, what the fuck is wrong with you? [x4]
What the fuck is wrong with you? [x4]
Why don't you finish yourself, since you don't really care
Let the screams in your head be the last thing you hear
Hey you, what the fuck is wrong with you? [x8]

The lyrics of Combichrist's song "What the Fuck Is Wrong With You?" explore the themes of intolerance, ignorance, and self-destructive behavior. The opening lines describe the consequences of these negative traits, as someone is "sucked down" and pushed against a figurative fence. The lyrics suggest that those who possess intolerance and ignorance are not deserving of life, as they are urged to "finish" themselves and let their own screams be the last sound they hear.
The chorus repeats the question, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" as it delves deeper into themes of suffocation, toleration, and the idea that "no one is innocent." The lyrics make references to "screaming faces" and "familiarity," perhaps suggesting that these negative traits are not new phenomena, but rather recurring patterns that have been destructive throughout history.
Line by Line Meaning
Intolerance, self glorified ignorance
Your inability to accept or tolerate those who are different from you, coupled with an exaggerated sense of self-importance, is preventing you from understanding the world around you.
That sucked you down with your face pushed against the fence
Your narrow-mindedness has trapped you and prevented you from seeing the bigger picture.
Why don't you finish yourself, since you don't really care

Let the screams in your head be the last thing you hear
Your own internal struggle and turmoil will be your ultimate downfall.
Just give it a go

The repetition of this question is not just aimed at you, but to anyone who refuses to see beyond their own prejudices and biases.
