One Fire (2019) Following the 2017 release of standalone track "Broken : United", a new album called "One Fire" was scheduled for a Spring release, delayed from Fall 2018, followed by a US tour in March/April and European shows (some festival, some headline) in June, July, August. Joe Letz announced his departure on January 17, after 13 years as main drummer, ahead of official album/tour announcements and in line with his new sober lifestyle. LaPlegua posted a farewell statement, confirming that "Joe's departure has nothing to do with the band itself. It is about recovery, a different life and spending more time with his family." LaPlegua added that he/Combichrist has "new management, new booking agency, Nick Rossi and Eric 13 working hard with me, Elliot Berlin on keyboards and a new second drummer Will Spodnick." 2020 & Beyond LaPlegua set up a Combichrist Patreon, where he posted some exclusive unreleased Scandy tracks and "Sec Four" which was used in DMC game trailers but never released. During 2020, he continued working on new Combichrist material for a 2022 album - beginning with the single "Not My Enemy" released early 2021 - and confirmed that Elliott Berlin has rejoined the band as a recording and touring member. In addition, the first official solo album will be released under the name LaPlegua - containing some songs that were originally destined for a third Panzer AG album. First single, "I Will Heal" was released online in February 2021, with the post-punk/goth rock album pencilled for a summer release. New material from Icon Of Coil is also in the works, as is a new project of Viking techno which will come out under the name HDLGIR. Meanwhile, the podcast "Oh Weird! It's Combichrist and Co!" began recording in early 2021, featuring LaPlegua and his sound/lights crew, Greg Gory and Chris Norris, often with special guests. The band hope to resume touring in late summer (Europe) and autumn/fall (USA) 2021, however guitarist Eric13 would be sitting it out with Jamie Cronander filling in for him. On September 15, 2021, the new single "Compliance" was released, accompanied by a lyric video. On May 13, 2022, another new single "Modern Demon" was released. Band members Combichrist was originally just LaPlegua onstage, followed by LaPlegua plus one other 2003–2006. The lineup then changed and expanded to include Shaun F, Jon Horton, and Joe Letz.
