Combichrist was formed in 2003 by Norwegian Andy LaPlegua, founder of the band Icon of Coil as an aggrotech project. The first material Andy wrote were a few powernoise/techno crossover tracks under the moniker DRIVE. The band name was later changed to Combichrist before the debut album, The Joy of Gunz was released on the german record label Out of Line. The name Combichrist originates from a hardcore fanzine LaPlegua made during the late 90s, with JR Ewing guitarist Håkon Mella. A few years after the band's conception, Andy departed Norway for the United States, which is now the current homebase for Combichrist and his other projects Scandy and Panzer AG. In 2004, The second EP, Sex, Drogen und Industrial, spent 7 weeks at number one in the DAC charts. 2005 saw the release of Everybody Hates You and it was at this time that the band began labeling their music as "Techno Body Music" or TBM. Fans of the band are known to be extremely dedicated and in turn the band is notorious for it's dedication to the fans, labeled by Andy as the Combichrist Army.
As of May 2007, the band has recorded three promo videos.
The first, 'Blut Royale' (from the album Everybody Hates You) has never been released, yet it has been confirmed by the band that the video was completed.
The second was for 'Get Your Body Beat' (first heard on the Get Your Body Beat single and later the What the Fuck is Wrong With You People? album,) was directed by Pearry Teo and features scenes from his upcoming film [[The
Gene Generation]].
It is rumoured that the video will appear as a special feature on the DVD release of the film.
The third video is for the track 'Electrohead' from the What the Fuck is Wrong With You People? album. The video was shot at Das Bunker in California, but after reviewing the material, the footage was found too dark to use.
The band then opted to re-shoot the video in North Carolina. It is also yet to be released.
