Test
Icicles
Dig Your Own Grave
Genre-mashers
Test Icicles inevitably imploded under the weight of their own
creative ambitions, and end their short life with the ironically
titled ‘for collectors only’, Dig Your Own Grave.
This mini-album collects a fistful demos, unreleased versions
and mad remixes that acts as sad farewell for a band that had
only touched on their mind-melting potential.
Dig’s remixes show how Test Icicles could have stepped further
into techno realms, and the colossal metal-mayhem of the previously
unavailable ‘Stuck In The Bend’ is a testament to
the places they could have taken the rock-sound to.
A messy epitaph for a creatively messy collective.
