ProNoize is known for the aggressive sound and Alter der Ruine are not a band to compromise that foundation. Mixing elements of industrial, techno, hardcore, IDM and house, Alter der Ruine have become known for their viscous blending of genres and intense energy. After 3 albums, 3 EPs, numerous remix appearances and over 100 live shows up to date, Alter der Ruine and ProNoize are ready to show Europe what they can do.

America's flagship in terms of Industrial has finally made it across the Atlantic. “This Is Why We Can not Have Nice Things“ contains their best songs which were only available in USA yet. Merciless, loud, quirky, a bit gaga and refreshingly different.

The limited edition includes a bonus CD with mixes from Aesthetic Perfection, Haujobb, Noisuf-X and Assemblage 23.

Biography:
Alter Der Ruine was brainspawned in 2005 as a device to get soft shoes to tap to a heavy beat. To compound this simple plan an intricate execution was employed. Long story short 2 Mikes and 1 Jacob got together and made a racket that took the scenic route to its destination.

Pooling enough influence to inspire even the laziest artist, ADR set its sights to constantly evolve and explore areas unfamiliar to them. The end result rests in a sound strikingly familiar that lounges in its own swanky world. A swanky world where sleaze and serious had an ugly love child that craved synthesizers and something to snap its fingers to. Luckily Alter Der Ruine exists for them.
Do they exist for you...
