Laibach



Laibach is amongst the most notorious and misunderstood music and artistic groups that have ever existed. A founding member of NSK (Neue Slowenische Kunst, 1984-1992), Laibach was established in a coal mining town of Trbovlje, Yugoslavia in 1980, today on the territory of Slovenia. The band was founded shortly after the death of Josip Broz Tito, an event that triggered a wave of separatist and nationalist tensions that led to the bloody Yugoslav Wars (1991-2001). The name of the band references the historical German toponym for the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, used also during the occupation of Slovenia by Nazi Germany in the Second World War. The place and time of Laibach’s origin defined their characteristic industrial sound.

“Pop is music for sheep and we are shepherds disguised as wolves.”
Laibach, Excerpts from Interviews 1980–1995

“Hej Slovani, naša reč
Slovanska živo klije

These words are for those who died,
These words are for those left behind.
These words are for you, Poland,
And these ones for my homeland.

Živi, živi, duh slovanski,
For the spirit of our fathers,
For the glory of our sons,
Bodi živ na veke
For the power of the Spectre,
For the Holly Alliance

Let stones crack,
Let the earth quake
And let the tempest roar!

Let stones crack,
Let the earth quake,
Let freedom rise!

Hej Slovani, naša reč
Slovanska živo klije,
These words are for lovers,
These words are for their heart beats.
Dokler naše verno srce
Za naš narod bije
These words are for warriors
And these ones for all communists.

Živi, živi, duh slovanski,
Out of the feudal darkness,
Away from the Nameless One
Bodi živ na veke
We stand alone in history,
Facing East in sacrifice

*Slovania”
Laibach, Volk

“Yes, we believe in God but, unlike Americans, we don't trust him.”
