The
German band Testify has been around since 1992 or 1993 and they have already
produced five full-length albums, including this one. If heavy guitar-driven
industrial metal is your thing you will certainly like what these guys have to
offer. When listening to their music you can't help to think: Ministry,
Rammstein, Laibach, White Zombie, NIN. This album is full of aggressive
industrial music with elements from all the bands mentioned at the end of the
last sentence but the band that has had the biggest influence on Testify is
probably (early) Ministry. The addition of some nice samples also help to
create a certain atmosphere that I think an industrial release should have if
it's to be any good. The new album from Testify is definitely good but it
tends to be a little monotonous and bleak in the mid-section. These songs
could be seen as a resting period because the first and last thirds of the
album are no doubt good enough to make up for this. What makes this band stand
out even more from the competition is their vocalist who makes a very powerful
appearance on these eleven songs with his rough vocals. If you like aggressive
industrial music you can not possibly go wrong with Testify. Stand-out tracks:
"Grinning Sun", "Braindead Friction", "Dumb / Numb /
Gund".
