P60, Amstelveen, The Netherlands
8th July 2011
Combichrist, Mortiis (support)
Originating from the Norwegian hardcore scene, LaPlegua (COMBICHRIST singer) segued out into the electronic music world and even entered the billboard’s top 10 dance single chart with music that can be described as dark, stabbing synths, heavy robotic beats, and swarming, buzz saw-style guitar sounds. Sounds logical? Perhaps no, but interesting: definitely yes!
LaPlegua started in electronic music with his solo project ICON OF COIL, which broadened his exposure with a release in de United States. After a focus on electronics and dance beats, his hardcore past emerged again in 2003 when LaPlegua formed COMBICHRIST. Described as a mechanical music monster, this combination proved to be successful. Starting with ‘The Joy of Gunz’, followed by ‘Kiss the Blade’, ‘Sex, Drogen und Industrial’ and ‘Everybody Hates You’, COMBICHRIST produced several club classics, even ending in the top 10 Dance Singles chart with their 2006 EP ‘Get Your Body Beat’. Their fifth album ‘Making Monsters’ was released in 2010 and described by LaPlegua as “beyond my personal demons, and extremely honest”.
COMBICHRIST has already proven their live reputation three times before at P60 in Amstelveen, so put on your dancing shoes, bring your most sinister mood and check out their expected overwhelming performance on July 8th.
