Laibach are a Slovenian industrial electronic group formed in 1980. In their initial incarnation, Laibach's music and art - Laibachkunst - had been rehearsing the break-up of Yugoslavia and the Soviet block. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 that signalled the final collapse of communism in Europe, their work shifted focus to a world where utopian dreams have been replaced by the cynical values of the market place. From the beginning they have astutely observed the signs, incorporated them into their work and exposed the hidden formula of potentially explosive equations.
Their live performances resemble pseudo-political rallies. Dressed in uniform black, the group perform ferocious noise assaults before a backdrop of totalitarian regalia and wartime slides. Laibach are a movement like no other.
