Jeezus Christ ... It's "CombiChrist " !

Welcome to the Loudest Blog on the www !

If you've never heard of Andy Laplegua , known to his millions of fans as the penultimate ' CombiChrist ' , then you have obviously missed the bus, train & plane to Clarksville ! Combichrist has literally 'Exploded ' unto the Industrial Tech scene within the last 9 years , however , his notoriety hasn't fully surfaced until late last year when he decided to break from his band :Icon of Coil & go ' solo '. Good decision on Andy's part [ if I do say so myself ] .

Combichrist" is an aggro-tech music group, formed in Norway and currently situated in the United States.

In 2003 Andy LaPlegua of "Icon of Coil" wrote a few power noise/techno cross over tracks under the name of "Drive". 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 HÃ¥kon Mella.

The follow up EPs, and the clamor 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?".

Their latest album, "Today We Are All Demons", was released on January 20th, 2009.

Andy wanted something different from the typical dance electronica and created Combichrist in early 2000. The group is pretty much the 'shizznizzle' at the moment in goth and regular dance clubs; I’m a music lover& my taste is vast & diverse ; what drew me to Combichrist was the darkness and noise their albums created. But … LaPlegua’s vision of the group has changed from ultra-angry to a more danceable style. It’s not the Chemical Brothers or Paul Oakenfold, but the anger is gone with a good half of " Today We Are All Demons ". The single that came before the album " Sent to Destroy " is the trademark Combichrist and the latter portion of the album brings some of that anger back in. Overall, the album has become a big success within the goth /cybergoth & industrial electro /tech fanbase . What I personally love about Andy is the fact that he manages to implement a much deeper meaning into all of his songs [ if one stops and listens without being judgemental based on his external persona ehemmm ! ] . True , he may seem rather ' frightening ' / intimidating behind the make-up , the mohawk & his angry front - but this type of prejudiced / biased disposition applies only to those same ' pseudo - devout - religious - establishment freaks ' [ yes ...the same ones who tried to crucify Marilyn Manson a decade and some yrs. ago ]

Combichrist has recognized 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 HÃ¥kon Mella, Bjoern Petersen, Syn M, Shaun Frandsen & Jon H.


One cannot listen to music based on prejudice & narrow mindedness . Music is supposed to be one of the truest art forms of ' global human unification ' , and not meant to separate & divide . As the Beatles said : " Come Together ..right Now " !

When man discovered fire , he emerged out of the darkness -

When he discovered language , he learned to communicate his thoughts -

When he discovered music , he enabled his soul w/ wings ,

To fly and soar towards new-found heights . [ MiaZoe ]

Keep flying & soaring !
