I was just listening to Throat Full of Glass and realized there's no thread for Combichrist. One of my favorite bands right now. First caught them when I went to see Black Light Burns open for them in 09 and fell in love with them from there. Saw them again last year and they kicked ass again. Haven't put out a bad album in my opinion.

If you haven't heard them here are a few of my favorite songs:

Very catchy music. I was sold the very second I heard Fuck That Shit.

My girlfriend loves them to death. I only like a hand full of songs and I think they are better live. a

Yes, FUCK THAT SHIT is awesome!


Edit: just finished the vid for "throat full of glass". lol at the end.

Yup Fuck that shit is prolly my favorite and I agree about them being better live. I tried to get into them a few years ago but just couldn't get into Andy's voice, then after seeing them live I learned to love the studio stuff.

I also recommend fans to check out Andy's side project scandinavian cock. It's industrial meets rockabilly.

I like them here and there minimally. I like songs rather than whole albums but they're one of the best aggrotech bands around. I like their remixes of others. I first heard about them and became a fan in 2007 after getting that Mindless Self Indulgence Straight to Video remix album.

Btw they have a new song on the Underworld soundtrack called "Bottle of Pain". It's... different.

From facebook:

IT'S NEW MUSIC MONDAY!! (or Tuesday for our friends in Europe). Check out an edit of "Buried Alive", one of the tracks featured on "No Redemption, Combichrist's soundtrack to DmC Devil May Cry." This track, along with the 12 other new songs featured on this release, is a new mix of the track included in the game. Look for this digitally and on CD in early 2013.

For those hardcore old school "everything must sound like Electrohead" fans out there, this track, and the others from the game, are NOT representative of what the follow-up to "Making Monsters" will sound like. We are EXCEPTIONALLY proud of the work we did for this game but we were asked by Capcom to work on heavier, dirtier tracks so this is the result. Enjoy!

two new songs here, very guitar-driven/un-combichrist, still dig them though.

Does anyone here like Andy's primary band, Icon Of Coil? I actually prefer IOC to Combichrist.

I've liked everything except for the vocals w/ Combichrist. Maybe it's a personal aversion to the general approach with EBM vox for me. The only bands that do EBM vocals I like are selective moments from Front 242 and KMFDM... also there's a Project Pitchfork album somewhere out there I liked too for the most part. And some Wumpscut.

Still, whenever I hear people scream angrily on top of EBM it reminds me of that speedy asshole on the dancefloor who wants to start a moshpit. Personally not my thing.

First single off new album We Love You:

I think the song is pretty good (apart from the lyrics, but Combichrist has never been a very lyrical band anyway), especially after that Devil May Cry metal endeavor.

I loved the soundtrack they did for DmC. I like this video/song. Nice!

New album is streaming here (http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/stream-new-combichrist-album-we-love-you-right-here/).
I'm about halfway through and liking it a lot so far. A million times better than the DmC soundtrack.

For some reason I mix Combichrist and Godflesh up in my mind. Anyway, one thing triggered another, and I remember that some guy calling himself Adversary called CC out (and Nachtmahr, perhaps mostly Nachtmahr) on sexism and/or racism in their music and/or vids:

New album coming June 3. Praying they tone down the guitars and metal-sound a bit, but I'm not optimistic.

If anything, from the blurb it sounds like its gonna be even more rock oriented.

On the plus side, Andy has brought in an external producer for the first time, so hopefully that'll help with nailing the sound. Its Oumi Kapila from Filter - very much a guitar person.
