Product Details/SpecificationsRecording label: Metropolis Records EAN: 0782388057424Binding: Audio CDRelease Date: 2009-01-20Universal product code (UPC): 782388057424Number of discs: 1Product Description
Combichrist mastermind Andy LaPlegua has once again expanded on the beat driven, hook-laden evil electro found on "What The Fuck Is Wrong With You People?" From the opening notes of the driving "All Pain Is Gone" and the sleazy, punk grooves of "Kickstart The Fight" to the techno body music-tinged beats of "Get Out Of My Head" and the darkly introspective title track, "Today We Are All Demons" proves that Combichrist is a force to be reckoned with.
Combichrist the CDReview Date: 2010-02-07 Rating: 10 out of 10Finally the CD arrived, I had seen the guys as a support act on the RAMMSTEIN Tour, wow, loud and strong act, I wanted to have this music....noway in Holland, so straight to Amazon and ofcourse the right one.

ReviewsGood and bad.Review Date: 2009-10-26 Rating: 6 out of 10I like the fact that Combichrist are starting to sound more and more like an actual band and less like a one man show...but this album only has a few really great tracks and I think most of the songs are overly repetitive and tiresome. Maybe the next album will be less of a drag.Just not goodReview Date: 2009-06-13 Rating: 2 out of 10I guess Ministry has spoiled me over the years but this music is rubbish. I thought I'd check out something new but this is definitely not it.Combichrist continues to hone a winning recipie.Review Date: 2009-05-17 Rating: 8 out of 10Combichrist makes super-aggressive, pounding electronic music, incorporating elements from industrial, electro, EBM, and other electronic dance forms. This album doesn't alter Combichrist's basic recipe from previous releases. Most of the sounds and concepts are extensions of those used on previous albums. But to me, that doesn't matter in the least. The album sacrifices innovation for quality: every song is good, many are great. This solid cd further cements Combichrist's status as one of the pillars of contemporary dark electronic music.
Combichrist's vocals are not like typical "hellektro" vocals. They are naturalistic- not processed through a vox machine. In that sense they hearken back to old-school industrial or even punk such as Black Flagg or maybe proto-industrial like Big Black.
There are significant differences between Combichrist and "hellectro/dark electro" such as Suicide Commando or Hocico. One of Combichrist's major contributions to the genre is the injection of a healthy dose of irony into a field which takes itself quite seriously. There is rage and fury, but it is married to a lampooning and a wink and nod toward the excesses of that fury: BDSM, blood and guts, killing, etc., are all used with a clever combination of pure feeling vs. gleeful irony. Combichrist is FUN and FUNNY, qualities that make it completely unique in the world of hard electronics/industrial dance.
From the first sample which opens the album, a answering machine message left by an idiotic-sounding dude on his way to jail asking to be bailed out, to the female vocals that lace a lot of the songs - a whiny and pissed off sounding chick who apes and eggs on the vocalist like a 1940's gangster's moll, to more wacky samples such as a robo-Asian voice repeating "my grandma gives good head!" over and over, there's a slapstick element to this music that allows you to feel the rage and laugh at yourself at the same time.
In summary, this is another great release from a master of the genre with a unique style.
For those looking for more of the humorous side of Combichrist, the side project Scandy is a winner. A little lighter sound, and Andy doesn't sing very much- mostly instrumentals and some of those same kooky female vocals. Check it out.Typical but good.Review Date: 2009-04-11 Rating: 8 out of 10I like this band, but in all truth...most of these terror techno industrial bands all sound the same. I find it hard to get myself to buy more than one album by each of these bands. If you own one Combichrist album you own them all. Anyways..this sounds like the previous albums...hard thumping evil electronica. Same cyberpunk drug induced angst from frontman Andy Leplegua. No complaints from me as far as the production and music go...it's a fun album. I'm just getting a little jaded twoards this scene I suppose. I want something new and exciting...ok, I'm ranting. If you like the other Combichrist records than you'll like this one to. >:)
