Testure

"Testure" is a single by the band Skinny Puppy, taken from their 1988 album VIVIsectVI. The phrase is most likely a play on words (a literary device used frequently by vocalist Ogre) of the words 'Test' and 'Torture' and equates medical experimentation on live animals as being akin to torture.
