Atlanta-based Combichrist brings a Thanksgiving eve feast of industrial chaos to the Masquerade

Combichrist is one of the biggest aggrotech/industrial bands in the world thanks to its bombastic sound and post-apocalyptic theatrics. But while the band performs in front of thousands in Europe, Russia, South American and elsewhere, it maintains a strong cult status here in the United States. Though Combichrist mastermind Andy LaPlegua is originally from Norway, having originally established himself in the electronic rock underground as a member of Icon of Coil, many may not realize that he has called Atlanta home for several years now. With the fall leg of Combichrist’s tour coming to an end at the Masquerade on Thanksgiving eve before the band heads back out for a short December stint that includes an opening slot for Rammstein at Madison Square Garden, LaPlegua took a moment to talk about living in Atlanta, touring and his other musical endeavors.
