Norwegian pioneers of industrial metal Combichrist just released via Out Of Line Music their new album, CMBCRST, a masterful blend of relentless energy and undiluted aggression. This fifth album continues to burn the boundaries of genres with Andy LaPlegua's signature fusion of electronic and metal elements. CMBCRST is an exorcism of the mundane, a rebirth in the fires of industrial metal. With every note, Combichrist declares that their music is forever unyielding, forever defiant, and, as always, immortal.
CMBCRST delivers a hellish soundscape of screeching guitars and brutal electronic beats, proving that only death is immortal. Songs like "Only Death Is Immortal" and "D for Demonic" encapsulate the raw, visceral sound that has defined the band's journey. Andy LaPlegua, maintaining the core electronic backdrop, ventures boldly into new musical territories, reaffirming their position at the forefront of the industrial metal scene. Every track on CMBCRST is a demonstration of the band’s roots and a bold step into the future as it dials up the intensity to show that Combichrist is not just surviving in this industry; they are setting it ablaze. "Children Of Violence" and "Wolves Eating Wolves" explore themes of survival and betrayal with pulse-pounding rhythms and haunting lyrics. "Violence Solves Everything PTI and PTII" closes the album on a climactic note, challenging listeners with its provocative title and explosive soundscapes.
Formed by Norwegian vocalist Andy LaPlegua, Combichrist has dominated the industrial metal scene with its aggressive sound and energetic live performances. From their inception, Combichrist has continually pushed the limits of the genre, ensuring that their musical legacy will be felt for years to come. The entire new album is available for streaming.
