"The Joy Of Gunz" is an album by the Norwegian Aggrotech band Combichrist. The album itself shows the very first sound of Combichrist - a mixture of power noise and harsh EBM - which later evolved into what LaPlegua dubbed TBM (techno-body-music). Compared to later Combichrist works, "The Joy Of Gunz" is also very limited as far as vocals are concerned.
