Bio
............ .......... .. .. .. Please visit:.. ..www.richardruin.com...... For worldwide Mailorder please go to:.. ..www.lebonbonnoir.com.. ...... for booking affairs please contact: .... please contact: .. office@martineder.com .......... .. ...... "...Richard Ruin and his ensemble are primarily gifted thespians, able to operate in two levels of guiltless subterfuge. Gothic and Darkwave exists in its own myth. The aesthetics and themes trickle through deviations of style to unify disparate acts from Diamanda Galas to Trent Reznor, and tread these murky waters of debasement and minor chords. Certain keys are required to unlock the full pleasure of immersion. Once you relinquish objectivity and submit to the codification and by laws inscribed in the genre enjoyment flourishes. It requires acing on the part of both audience and stage, the slipping on of a costume and adoption of proscribed mannerisms. ...... The band is one layer of German artist Martin Eder's life as performance art. It is the sonic equivalent of his flippantly cynical paintings which marry the pseudo-libertine pornography of American Apparel and Suicide Girls with the creatively bankrupt irony permeating hipster culture. ...... If a movie about demonic possession or vampires required a concert scene Richard Ruin would fit the bill perfectly. Live shows already incorporate actors who crawl across the stage like ghosts flitting unseen through a crowd. There is dark make-up, negligé, and a sexuality bordering but never truly crossing into fetish. Flickering projections imitating the earliest stag films join the thick ambiance of mood lighting and smoke machines. ...... Ruin's swarthy voice rings out between periodic bursts of reverb-drenched chords and church organs, spewing forth tales of tormented love, the evil within, the dark corners we seek in the safety of fiction. ...... Should you be able to embrace the style, relax the critical impulses, and let the dark cabaret wash over you, it should be a fun show." .... Text: Brendan Seibel ..

NEUROTIC MASS MOVEMENT 
fixation to the mental life of germs is one of the most obvious characteristics of neurosis 101. this implies a lifetime of excessive pleasure and a double conscience or a split personality. security, calmness and the beautiful life is highly unrecommended. x 3 years ago
