For COMBICHRIST to name their album "We Love You", it’d be easy to think the band had abandoned their sonic assault for something softer, fluffier and less bloody. Knowing COMBICHRIST, though, that couldn't be further from the truth. With their trademark body-pummelling beats and vitriolic vocals intact, their latest full-length album digs deeper into the abyss and delivers thirteen tracks of relentless aggression and manic electronica.

 
Founded in 2003 when Andy LaPlegua departed futurepop outfit ICON OF COIL, COMBICHRIST combined hardcore with electronics into a single, mechanical music monster. Without the compromise of the band dynamic, LaPlegua, who does everything in the studio himself, was able to explore whatever musical avenues he desired. "The Joy of Gunz", the first (and best! - ed.) COMBICHRIST album, and the four subsequent albums – "Everybody Hates You" (2005), "What the Fuck Is Wrong With You People?" (2007), "Today We Are All Demons" (2009) and "Making Monsters" (2011), cemented COMBICHRIST's iconic place in the pantheon of dark electronica.

The 2013 album "No Redemption", a companion soundtrack to the CapCom videogame "DMC Devil May Cry" broughtCOMBICHRIST into a world more metal and intentionally harder and brutal than anything that had been previously released. Stretching their musical scope even wider, in late 2013 the band performed with a symphony orchestra in Leipzig as part of the 'Gothic Meets Klassik' Festival.

With "We Love You" in queue to usher them into the next chapter, COMBICHRIST are ready to return with a new live show that showcases all the facets of the band. And like all previous albums and tours, the fans can expect pure and unadulterated COMBICHRIST.
