Test Dept - History The Strength Of Metal In Motion
Review by Bibhuti Biswas
History The Strength Of Metal In Motion by Test Dept. is a powerful album that showcases the band's unique blend of industrial and metal music. The album features a range of tracks that are both heavy and intense, as well as introspective and reflective. The band's use of percussion and industrial sounds creates a sense of urgency and tension throughout the album, while the vocals add a raw and emotional edge to each song. History The Strength Of Metal In Motion is a must-listen for fans of industrial and metal music, and a testament to Test Dept.'s enduring legacy in the genre.

About Test Dept
The group was formed in New Cross, south-east London in late 1981. All unemployed, and with listening tastes ranging from soul to classical music, they searched out whatever they could find to make music with, and for the most part this consisted of scrap metal salvaged from waste ground and derelict factories. The reason had as much to do with lack of money as it had to do with a dislike for conventional rock instruments. Originally, they used bass guitars and other conventional instruments, but these were fairly rapidly dropped as they obtained more industrial percussion, and found that these created a stronger and more consistent sound.
They also, probably later on, gained the rights for some of their music and can been seen listed as copyright holders on some re-issues. Some examples can be seen on the page.
