Laibach is a Slovenian avant-garde group formed in 1980 in the mining town of Trbovlje, known for their deliberately ambiguous use of totalitarian and militaristic imagery. The band's name is the historical German name for Ljubljana - a reference to the Nazi occupation of Slovenia in World War II. As the musical wing of the Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) collective, which they co-founded in 1984, they rank among the most distinctive acts in European industrial and avant-garde music; banned in Yugoslavia, they became a national cultural icon after Slovenian independence. They are widely recognised for their industrial-style cover versions of pop hits, and in 2015 became the first Western rock group to perform a full concert in North Korea.
Laibach released a new studio album MUSICK on May 1, 2026 via Mute Records - their first album with original material since Spectre (2014).
