Formed in 2003, the band came together through Norwegian-born Andy LaPlegua, with LaPlegua being the musical mastermind of the project, responsible for all studio recordings. Live, he is joined by Joe Letz, Z_Marr, Abbey Nex and Eric 13. Despite offering a relatively niche style of music, Combichrist have developed a cult following, finding commercial success and finding top positions in dance and alternative charts worldwide.
Their first album, “The Joy of Gunz” appeared in 2003, followed by the limited edition EP, “Kiss the Blade,” which sold out in less than a week. Their success continued with their second EP, “Sex Drogen Und Industrial,” which spent several weeks at the top spot of the DAC charts (Deutsche Alternative Chart).
It was with their 2006 single, “Get Your Body Beat,” that Combichrist broke through into commercial success, peaking at number 14 on the Billboard Dance Singles Chart. Praised releases continued and the band began touring extensively, travelling across Europe and North America. The band were also joined by Limp Bizkit’s guitarist, Wes Borland, in 2009, for their North American tour.
2010’s “Making Monsters” continued to raise the band’s profile, gaining a support slot for Rammstein’s show at Madison Square Gardens, as well as a nationwide tour, helping to find them new fans. Two further albums, 2013’s “No Surrender” and 2014’s “We Love You” proved to fans and critics alike that Combichrist showed little sign of slowing down.
I personally have not been a fan of CombiChrist for a very long time, I hadn't even heard of them until they announced the We Love tour with William Control and New Years Day, I love both of them and it just so happened that my boyfriend, who I started dating shortly after the announcement, is a mega fan of them. So, we decided we were both going the moment he learned of the concert. For this tour CombiChrist had a VIP package that included a meet and greet, pizza party, and more. So, because the first date of tour (this was our areas date) was so close to his birthday we both got VIP packages for it. Needless to say, I am poor, so I had never had VIP before and he had only been to one other concert, so this was a very exciting experience for both of us. Before the show started we got there super early because it's a habit of mine, due to the fact that we were the first attendees there we got to meet a lot of people including certain members of CombiChrist. After we went into the meet and greet/pizza party we realized there were very few people in there so we got to full on meet every member and actually get to know them, aside from the bassist Eric 13 who we already were very good friends with (only met earlier that day, they connect very quickly). The guys went on to group pictures after that I had the pleasure of being thrown into it first thanks to Eric and the guitarist Joe Letz decided to have them, "hold me like a fish" as seen in my profile picture. After all of the craziness of this we watched the other two artists, then, it was finally time for them to come onstage. Coming out, the vocalist Andy LaPlegua was wearing an LED mask and somehow was able to scream through it and make it audible on the speakers. The guys were jumping around and going absolutely insane, they kept interacting amazingly with the crowd and they were doing an absolutely amazing performance that seemed surreal it was so incredible. The members of CombiChrist are some of the most insane and incredible guys you will ever meet, let alone just watching them play live. I definitely recommend going to see them play at any given chance, also, meet them if you can because they are so great!
