TESTIFY TRIVIALITY BEYOND ACCEPTANCE ALBUM VAN RICHTER RELEASE: SPRING, 2002 REVIEW: APRIL 25, 2002

I can’t believe I haven’t paid closer attention to Testify before. They sound quite good actually, though not innovative. We are talking about German industrial metal. Imagine Ministry/Rammstein guitars, coupled with Skinny Puppy-esque vocals in English and sparse, but well found, samples. “Triviality Beyond Acceptance” is rather monotone, though, therefore the grade is not higher. But songs like “Invisible Hell” break the monotony, and thus keeping Testify on the right side of the scale.
If you want to give “Psalm 69” a well earned break, you should try “Triviality Beyond Acceptance” out.
