=== ''Everybody Hates You'' (2005β2006) === The year 2005 saw the release of ''[[Everybody Hates You]]'' and it was at this time that LaPlegua began labeling the music as "Techno Body Music" or TBM.<ref>{{cite web|title=Andy talks Combichrist and the changing soundscape|url=http://www.electrowelt.com/index.php?Itemid=72&catid=1&id=653:exclusive-interview-with-andy-laplegua-combichristpanzer-ag-icon-of-coil-scandy&option=com_content&view=article|website=Electrowelt.com|access-date=November 25, 2011}}</ref> The band released a song called "This Is TBM" on the Masterhit Recordings compilation ''This Is... Techno Body Music Vol. 1''.<ref>{{cite web|title=TBM Compilation|url=http://www.discogs.com/Various-This-Is-Techno-Body-Music-Vol-1/release/533127|website=Discogs.com|date=May 2, 2005 |access-date=November 25, 2011}}</ref> They played this song live during their 2005 shows, adding vocals to it. No vocal version of the instrumental track was ever released, and the lyrics were instead later reworked for the track "Electrohead". After this release, LaPlegua stopped referring to their music as TBM. Shortly after the release of the album, Army On The Dance Floor producer [[Kourtney Klein]] was added as alternating keyboardist and drummer to the band.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.nitzer-ebb.de/ebbdotcom/interview_2006_kourtneyklein.html | title=Zero Music interviews Kourtney Klein | publisher=Zero Music Magazine | access-date=April 29, 2012 | year=2006}}</ref> The full-length album featured two tracks that became club classics "This Shit Will Fuck You Up" and "This Is My Rifle" and it was also the project's U.S. debut on Metropolis Records.
