Combichrist
Combichrist is an American aggrotech/industrial metal band formed in 2003 by Norwegian vocalist Andy LaPlegua, who also founded the bands Icon of Coil, Panzer AG, Scandinavian Cock, and Scandy. Combichrist is based in Atlanta, Georgia. The band consists of only LaPlegua in the studio, with a changing lineup of live performing members. Releases by the band have been very successful in terms of sales and charted in top positions for dance and alternative charts worldwide.
The band's sound incorporates elements of aggrotech, electronic body music (EBM), and industrial metal, with harsh, aggressive vocals and hard-hitting electronic drums. They are known for their heavy use of sampling and looping in their songs. Their lyrics often focus on themes of aggression, rebellion, and a dystopian future.
Combichrist has released nine studio albums, with their latest "Hate Like Me" coming out in 2019. They've toured extensively, including as the support act for industrial metal kingpins Rammstein. Despite numerous line-up changes, Combichrist continues to be a driving force in the aggrotech and industrial metal scene.
