about
The Trial are an experimental German-Turkish-Swiss alternative-band, playing music somewhere in between rock, pop, wave, industrial and several other styles. They are one of the groups that attracted attention as being "different" to what was and is usually known as Turkish popular music in Germany (arabesk, Turkish hip hop, ...). Their exposing attribute is, that they act as a unique in Germany's underground music culture. Actual Members Voice, Instruments, Lyrics: αlabay (since 1985) Drums: Pfeuti (since 1988 with break) Voice, Kotamo: Lady Ophreusis (since 2003) Bandhistory The group was founded 1985 in Berlin by M. Strenge and αlabay, both dealing basically with sociocritical issues those times. The musical background was in the beginning noise and experimental sound collages, contributed by αlabay. 1987 both split up and αlabay started creating structured music. Back then, there was no intention to belong to a specific music genre but the influences of The Cure, Joy Division and The Sisters of Mercy gave obviously distinction. 1988 αlabay left Berlin and moved to Southwest-Germany. Between 1989 and 1995 an active phase with concerts followed. From 1998 on the band started to create several albums via internet and telephone but only two concerts were given since then. Between 2001 and 2005 a concept album was recorded (Statements & Unanswered Questions). This was a reinterpretation of an unrealized album from 1986 and done together with the co-founder M. Strenge.
