"The current TESTIFY lineup includes Rascal Nikov, Myk Jung, Moses W., Eddie Logan, George Mckinley and Mathias Black. Rascal and Myk came to the group from the legendary renowned electrobody music band THE FAIR SEX whose CD Machine Bites was released nationally in the United States in 1994. The band has toured extensively with Die Krupps and Armageddon Dildos in support of their releases."
"The second release Ballroom Killer was mixed by famed Ministry crew Keith "Fluffy" Auerbach and Howie Beno. The third record Mmmyaoooo record was produced by Metal Blade artist Skrew and with it the status of being a sideproject was blown away. TESTIFY has developed into a real band thing - a unit of sincerity. While the debut was animated by a spirit of roughness and quick work, Mmmyaoooo is the product of one year's work.The result is a list of eleven tracks which are filled with power, speed, brutality, insane humor and... atmosphere."
"The fourth album Crack the Mind features mixes by Die Krupps, Die Warzau and Plastic Noise Experience. Crack the Mind incorporates five brand new titles and four remix war titles from Mmmyaoooo. TESTIFY continues to blow away its peers with razor sharp treated vocals, powerful lyrics, well placed samples and chunky guitars. Crack the Mind is a dark progression in the world of computerized industrial metal!"
""Triviality Beyond Acceptance" is the fifth release of Aggro Metalists TESTIFY . The band has proven itself time and again as the hardest and most creative guitar driven aggro industrial band since Ministry. Testify has garnered the praise and recognition they deserve with worldwide critical acclaim as well as notice by fellow peer bands who have contributed on their records including Ministry, Skrew, Die Krupps, Die Warzau, Plastic Noise Experience...and soon to be KMFDM. The band has toured with Die Krupps and Armageddon Dildos as well as received video airplay on MTV and regular radio and club play over the years. The story and buzz on TESTIFY continues to build after almost a decade of work. The self produced "Triviality Beyond Acceptance" will prove to be Testify's strongest and hardest hitting effort to date with eleven solid tracks highlighted by the seminal"Under the cold moon". Remixes to follow....stay tuned."
"'Be aware of the snarling voices.... they might catch your brain to control your next nightmare!!!'"

Testify Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're sympathizers
Just be nice
Restrain your bodyguards
Drop your gun
Call the police
We are guilty of having bothered your gunmen
Grant them a rest
Take us instead
We are the best there is at what we are doing
We shoot in the head
You have joy
You have fun
You are dead
Take delight in your life
Just be glad
You might do what you like for a while
But never mind
We'll get ya
We'll get ya fine
The lyrics to the song Killer by Testify are a warning to those who believe they can live their lives with impunity. The words are carefully chosen to convey a message of defiance, suggesting that the band members will not back down from their mission to take revenge on those who have wronged them. The opening lines of the song, "Stay cool, bub/We're sympathizers," convey a sense of calm and control, while also hinting at the idea that the band is part of a larger movement.
As the song continues, the lyrics become more forceful and aggressive, urging the listener to "restain your bodyguards" and "drop your gun." The repeated chorus, "We'll get ya, we'll get ya fine," drives home the idea that the band members are not afraid to take action against those who have wronged them.
