“Ruining Lives” is the follow-up to the acclaimed 2012 release “Carved Into Stone” and continues to show the band on an upward trajectory, proving that despite having a long, illustrious career PRONG can still make records that matter and re-invent themselves without negating their roots. With Tommy Victor in the producer’s chair and Steve Evetts (Hatebreed, Sick Of It All, Sepultura) once again coming in to put his trademark shine on the record, “Ruining Lives” has turned out to be a monster of an album. From the first riff-assault of the opener “Turnover”, the album takes you on an angst-filled roller coaster ride that marries some very old school, “Beg To Differ”-elements with post-punk, industrial metal, hardcore thrash, all the while retaining a modern and current feel. Fans of the bands legendary,genre-defining “Cleansing”-era and new fans alike will be thrilled.

When the Brazilian duo Fab Viscardi and Gui Pires (ex-Aghast View) launched their Aesthetische project and the "Powerswitch" debut album, it became clear that their influences included lots of current dance music (but still offering that edgy EBM side). On the new album you'll discover collaborations with female American singer Mari Kattman (Day Twelve) and German artist Diana S. (Junksista). One thing is sure, Front 242 fans will enjoy this one for sure as it mixes the old school sound of this famous Belgian act with today's beats and hooks. The album will be out in 2 different physical version apart from the download (which is now available for pre-order via iTunes and Bandcamp). The 2CD boxset will include 11 alternative club and more old school oriented EBM remixes from Aesthetische themselves but also Edobot, Virgins O.R Pigeons, Deox 5, Halo In Reverse and more.
