Formed in the early 1980s in the UK, Test Dept is regarded as one of the pioneeringforces of ‘industrial music’, recognised for their ground-breaking sound and powerful performances. Their fearless and confrontational approach pushes the boundaries of music, art and protest, exploring themes of politics, social issues, and activism.
They are renowned for their innovative use of found objects, scrap metal and industrial detritus as instruments. Their unique blend of aggressive percussion, industrial noise, distorted samples and experimental soundscapes creates a visceral and immersive experience that reflects their commitment to challenging the status quo and seducing the listener into critical reflection.
In 1984 they ventured into the industrial communities of Britain performing live with the South Wales Striking Miner’s Choir, raising money and awareness for that cause.
This collaborative instinct led to the formation of The Ministry of Power an umbrella organisation for working collectively on multidisciplinary projects integrating music, movement, theatre, film and political activism, to create large scale multi-media productions in disused industrial spaces and unusual found environments.
Test Dept envisioned themselves as part of a broader cultural movement exploring the intersection of art and social change. Never standing-still, always evolving, TD are auditory explorers. Their powerful presence combines raw energy with thought-provoking visuals, creating an immersive and politically charged experience that resonates long after a performance ends. In 2014 they re-surfaced as a live entity, and published the comprehensive book Total Sate Machine a chronicle of the history, philosophy and work of Test Dept in 2015. They released the Disturbance album in 2019, incorporating their early industrial steel with expansive electronic production and touring with a new line up. In 2023 they were commissioned by the arts organisation
A/POLITICAL to create a new large-scale work Furnace at an old iron foundry in southern France, this is an active relationship with new works in the pipeline. So, 2025 sees new plans being hatched including a step back into performing in Zwickau in October. They re-emerge now as an electronic duo remixing early TD tracks alongside new material. Expect their ordered cacophony to generate an oasis of sense and reason from the madness that surrounds us all. Their commitment to addressing social and political issues through their music - support for activism, dissent and freedom of speech - is in their blood. Their spirit remains undaunted and their vision frighteningly focussed, bold and uncompromising.
