The fans have to be seen to be believed with a variety of responses to the provocatively recycled religious symbols, Nazi art, and socialist realism used to brutally ironise the aesthetics of totalitarianism. Overshadowed by wars in Iraq & Afghanistan and the controversial presidential re-election the Slovenian band let the music and images do the talking.
The group Laibach was established in the year 1980 in Trbovlje, an industrial-coal mining town in the centre of Slovenia. If you want to know more about them, you can visit their website here, or listen to their music on their Myspace here.
