The tracks of the first album of the group, Das Testament, are passages of the
Bible in german, in both of the New and Old Testament, without any modification.
Not all thought correct to use this theme, what caused debates that had how
subject the “Bible in the parades”. Despite the criticism, this album did much
success. The mixture of the reading of the biblical passages to synthetic voice,
of the choir of the Chor der Deutschen Oper Berlin and of the beats of techno,
did many people join to Monumental Dance.
An edition of re-release of the CD included music’s with rhythms more varied.
Among the extra tracks, it was adding a version of
Vater Unser in English, proved the german language matches best in the style.
