Faces of Freedom (HeadFuck) NOzone Mix – Test Dept from Test Dept on Vimeo.
Following the inauguration of US supreme overlord Donald Trump, longstanding influencers of industrial musicm Test Dept. have unveiled a video for a new version of their track ‘Fuckhead’, which first featured on their 1986 album The Unacceptable Face Of Freedom.
The new version’s full title is ‘Faces Of Freedom (HeadFuck) – Ozone Mix’, and the video, directed by David Altweger, has been shared with the following message: "To commiserate the further degradation and descent of the USA’s standing in the world into the deep nepotistic swamp that Trump is now ushering in. Stand Firm Communitarians, Do not accept the Corporate Coup d’Etat, Agitate Educate Organise, Strength in Adversity."
The band, who reformed for a string of live dates after a 19 year hiatus last year under the Test Dept: Redux, are anticipated to return this year with a new album. The track, a frenzied, metallic onslaught of vocal chops and rakish percussion, seems a fitting soundtrack to our impending doom. It’s available to download here.
