The Trial are an experimental German-Turkish-Swiss alternative-band, playing music somewhere in between rock, pop, new wave, industrial and several other styles. They are one of the groups that attracted attention for being "different" from what was and is usually known as Turkish popular music in Germany (arabesk, Turkish hip hop, ...). The Trial was founded in 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. In 1987 they split up and αlabay started creating structured music. He had no intention of belonging to a specific music genre but the influences of The Cure, Joy Division and The Sisters of Mercy gave his music an obvious distinction. In 1988 αlabay left Berlin and moved to Baden-Württemberg. Between 1989 and 1995, the band had an active phase with concerts. More information...
