ALBUM REVIEWS : ALTER DER RUINE - THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE

In hometown US Alter Der Ruine already have released several EP's and this offering, "This is why we can't have nice", is the first release that's been available in Europe.
It's kind of funny that they're Americans (from Arizona, Tuscon) as not only they have a German name but they definitely are reminescent to bands like Wumpscut or to our own Stin Scatzor.
Alter Der Ruine seek their influences in techno, house, hardcore and industrial music.
The result is a very harsh sound in where there's no place to breathe.
Not very good for the condition of the ears I guess, but it works nontheless...
