Combichrist
Norwegian-American industrial core group Combichrist merges a variety of different musical genres to an infernal, yet extremely addictive sonic behemoth. Initially cutting his teeth in the seminal Norwegian hardcore bands My Right Choice and Lash Out, Combichrist founder and vocalist Andy LaPlegua segued out of that scene into the electronic music world with Icon of Coil. It wasn’t until 2003 that LaPlegua founded Combichrist – the project that would soon dominate his time. A departure from IOC’s futurepop sound, Combichrist took LaPlegua’s hardcore past and electronica present and merged them into a singular, mechanical music monster. Since releasing the first Combichrist album The Joy of Gunz, LaPlegua and Combichrist have unleashed six subsequent full-lengths, including 2014’s We Love You, and numerous EPs while also cracking Billboard’s Top 10 Dance Singles chart.

Megaherz
MEGAHERZ have lit their fractious fire over and over in the last 25 years! With “Komet” these five friends dig deeper into their inner world – more emotional than ever before. Massive Neue Deutsche Härte-riffs and colorful synth-melodies tumble into a vortex of pain and loss and the intangibility of society’s ignorance. Less fantasy, more questioning: “Who makes the difference?” [“Wer macht den Unterschied?”], they ask in “Heldengrab” as they hunt for responsibility in times that are often grey. For the first time MEGAHERZ showcase political songs like “Horrorclown” or “Nicht in meinem Namen”. Between all these black stars we need courage; To find peace… even if there is no time to mourn the past. “Von oben” manages this with poignant lines – a song for the late father of guitarist Christian “X-ti” Bystron. “Komet” deals with honesty. It’s a reminder to speak up when it’s needed; awakening responsibility for yourself and all descendants.
