One of the most popular acts in the electro-industrial related “aggrotech” movement, Combichrist is solely Icon of Coil founder Andy LaPlegua when in the studio, augmented by a revolving cast of musicians for their intense live shows. LaPlegua launched the project in 2003 with the album The Joy of Gunz released by the German label Out of Line. Two years later Everybody Hates You became Combichrist’s first release on the American label Metropolis.
The “Get Your Body Beat” single was purposefully released on July 6, 2006 (6/6/6) and gave the band their first Billboard chart position with six weeks on the magazine’s dance chart. The track landed on their 2007 album What the F**k Is Wrong with You People? a breakthrough effort which also featured the club hits “Electrohead” and “Deathbed.” The year 2008 saw the audience increase thanks to a support slot on Mindless Self Indulgence’s tour of the U.S., along with the release of Combichrist’s Frost EP: Sent to Destroy. An appearance on the Underworld: Rise of the Lycans soundtrack plus a new album, Today We Are All Demons, kicked off 2009.
