Laibach
Slovenian experimental group Laibach performs at Zeche Bochum in Bochum.
Laibach is a Slovenian avant-garde group founded on 1 June 1980 in the mining town of Trbovlje, representing the musical wing of the Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) collective. Their sound spans industrial, martial and neoclassical styles, while their use of totalitarian and militarist imagery - deliberately ambiguous - has provoked controversy and bans from Yugoslavia to the present day. Singer Milan Fras delivers lyrics in German, Slovenian and English that address war, power and politics. After Slovenian independence in 1991, the band's status shifted from dissident outsiders to a recognised national cultural institution.
Laibach released MUSICK on 1 May 2026 via Mute Records - their first studio album of original material since Spectre (2014), described as their most pop-oriented work to date.
The band launched an extensive European tour in support of MUSICK, opening on 18 May 2026 at Orpheum in Graz and running through October 2026.
Slovenia's public broadcaster RTV flagged the single 'Allgorhythm' as a potential Eurovision Song Contest 2026 entry before later withdrawing from the competition.
Laibach released Laibach 40, a box-set reissue marking 40 years of their debut album, on 28 November 2025.
The symphonic album Alamut, created with the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra and based on the novel of the same name, was released on 9 May 2025.
