Test Dept + Bruise Blood
October 4 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm
The Seventh Wave presents…
Test Dept
Formed in London in the early 1980s, Test Dept are regarded as one of the pioneering forces of ‘industrial music’, recognised for their groundbreaking sound and powerful performances that pushed the boundaries of music, art and protest while exploring political and social issues.
Centred around the founding duo of Paul Jamrozy and Gray Cunnington since resurfacing in the mid-2010s, the group recently signed to the Artoffact label and have started to issue a series of carefully curated box sets along with a brand new album targeted for 2026.
Test Dept continue to break down barriers and are sonic material handlers, investigative agitators, authentic industrialists, utilisers and recyclers of society’s debris. They engage with the current cultural and political climate, exploring new ways of expression in a strategic programme of actions, and are needed now, more than ever!
Bruise Blood
BRUISE BLOOD is artist and musician Mike Bourne, founder member of Teeth of the Sea and Hirvikolari.
BRUISE BLOOD channels the frequencies of forgotten epochs and future crimes into a singular, dissonant hymn.
