Laibach - Laibachkunstderfuge (2008)

Band: Laibach

A bit about their History:

"Wikipedia" wrote:

Laibach’s history started in 1978 when Dejan Knez founded the band Salte Morale. After that, in 1979 Knez formed the original Laibach (note that the official founding date is 1980). It is believed that the first incarnation of Laibach included only Dejan Knez and Tomaž Hostnik- the singer and spokesman. In the first period Laibach were a quintet, but soon after that they declared that Laibach has only four members – ‘Vier Personen’. Sometimes those four members of the band were signed with their pseudonyms: Dachauer, Keller, Saliger and Eber. In the mid and late ‘80s, the four full time members were Dejan Knez, Milan Fras, Ervin Markošek and Ivan Novak. From time to time, some other persons, such as Oto Rimele or Nikola Sekulović, famous bass player from the Demolition Group, replaced Markošek. During '90s Markošek and Knez became drug addicts; and Markošek left the band. Knez was in Laibach during the WAT tour; and again on the promo concert of the Kunst der Fuge in Leipzig; but in the meanwhile was not in the band. Interestingly, on the press photos for the NATO album, the famous Slovenian producer Goran Lisica Fox appears. Markošek again appears on the press photos for WAT. After the WAT tour Knez also left the band. He is still seen on Anthems press photos, on the first Laibachkunstderfuge-concert and on "Türkiye" video. Now, the oldest member is Milan Fras, because Novak joined the band later than Fras.

And a bit about their Music:

"Wikipedia wrote:

Some early Laibach albums were pure industrial, with hard industrial percussions, heavy rhythms, and roaring vocals. Later in the mid-80s, the Laibach sound became more richly layered with samples from classical music—including from Gustav Holst’s The Planets. The band began their tradition of cover songs in 1987 with the album Opus Dei, where their sound was changed again to take on a more pop sound with classic pop structures. NATO (1994) was pure disco album, Jesus Christ Superstars (1996) was dubbed "pseudo" heavy metal and WAT (2003) minimalist techno.

And now a bit about the Controversy Surrounding the band

"same Wikipedia" wrote:

Laibach has frequently been accused of both far left and far right political stances due to their use of uniforms and totalitarian-style aesthetics and also due to the Wagnerian influence found in some of their music, notably the thunder in "Sympathy for the Devil (Time for a Change)" and releases such as Macbeth. They were also accused of being members of the neonationalism movement which reincarnates modern ideas of nationalism. Laibach always denied this strongly. Milan Fras, vocalist, is quoted as saying "We are fascists as much as Hitler was a painter" when confronted with such accusations.
