  Laibach (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laibach have frequently been accused of Germanophilia thanks to their costumes, which often resembled Nazi officers' uniforms, and also thanks to the Wagnerian stylistic aspects found in some of their music, notably the thunder in "Sympathy for the Devil (Time for a Change)".
Laibach are also known for their cover versions, which are often used to subvert the original message or intention of the song - most notable being their cover version of the song "Life is Life" on the album Opus Dei, which completely changes the meaning of the song from the original writers' intentions.
Other notable covers include the entirety of the Beatles album Let It Be (with the exception of the title track) and their album Sympathy for the Devil which deconstructs the Rolling Stones song of the same name with seven different covers of the song.

 Laibach - Music Downloads - Online
Bio: Laibach is an industrial group whose members prefer to be known as a collective rather than reveal individual names; they've been seen as fascists and of practicing Germanophilia because of their music's Wagnerian thunder and their military attire.
According to Laibach, "We are fascists as much as Hitler was a painter." Since fascism needs a scapegoat to flourish, the members of Laibach mocked it by becoming their own scapegoat and willingly sought alienation.
Laibach's music had remained a challenging combination of military marches and tape loops that only fans of Throbbing Gristle, Nurse With Wound, and the like paid much attention to, but things were about to change.

Laibach was formed in 1980 shortly after the death of Marshall Josip Broz Tito the Yugoslavian post-war leader who had spent his political career establishing principles of non-alignment within the communist world.

Laibach and their collaborators announced that the NSK is not as a physical state with traditional ideas of geographical borders, but rather an extra-territorial state, which peacefully co-exists within and without the host body of any pre-existing state where it chooses to temporarily materialize itself.

Baptism, Laibach's second double set, is the soundtrack to a play done with the theater branch of the New Slovenian Art (Neue Slowenische Kunst, or NSK) movement, of which Laibach is a part.
Laibach's version of Let It Be (an LP the group has said it considers the Beatles' worst) realizes the entire album (minus the title track) as melodramatic drinking and fighting songs, with horns, synthesized strings and military beats.
Laibach themselves contribute two non-Kraftwerk pieces (quasi-liturgical under their own moniker and frenetically sampledelic as Kraftbach) which open and close the album, setting it in the broader framework of Slovenian vs. Trans-European cultural identity.

Laibach used all the elements derived from the totalitarian system as merely a pure art form, and in this way might work as a cure.
Laibach said that states were mostly invented by politicians, so they decided to invent their own state without borders and any land, with little rules, but functioning.
Also Laibach changed their concepts and let the economy take over their music, with more commercial and in fact less inventive or less free minded and experimental ideas in music.

This is where Laibach took the brutal kick-in-the-head elements of their early material and bottled them for the consumer.
I think what many people miss about Laibach is that what they've been up to this whole time with their Fascist/Nazi overtones is some very sharp social/cultural commentary.
But given that Laibach has given both hints and overt statements that their 'mission' is, in fact, cautionary and satirical, it puts releases like this as well as others of their pop-oriented projects into a very interesting perspective.

 Laibach - Satan Stole My Teddybear
Probably the cutest album in the Laibach discography, Let it Be is the best joke ever released as a full-length album, comparable only to the spectacular (and nearly unlistenable) A.C. baladeering of Picnic Love.
Even the layout of the original album was refinished with a tilt towards glowering Slovenian nationalism, flirting with fascism and Euro-communism, creating stadium rock for the twilight of the gods.
Laibach doesn’t see the difference, and with this masterstroke of industrial strength satire, the laughter hides a few painful truths.

 More Total Than Totalitarianism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Laibach works as a team (the collective spirit), according to the principle of industrial production and totalitarianism, which means that the individual does not speak: the organisation does.
Laibach and NSK have used these same tactics in relation to totalitarianism, by setting themselves up as a model of the system (in fact all conflicting aspects of the system) in order to show it in its true light, including its ugly negative side.
Laibach, as founders and chief theoreticians of NSK and as manipulators of popular music - one of the most powerful and universally understood languages of global culture - are the most successful of NSK's groups, not only in terms of fame and fortune, but in terms of NSK strategy.

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.
Laibach always denied this strongly, pointing out that, as fascism needs a scapegoat, they had become their own scapegoat in the name of satire.
Laibach is also known for their cover versions, which are often used to subvert the original message or intention of the song - most notable being their cover version of the song "Life is Life" on the album Opus Dei, which completely changes the meaning of the song from the original writers' intentions.

Laibach's reason for existence has always been an exploration of extremities, but in many ways the group rarely got more extreme than on the soundtrack for the massive Neue Slowenische Kunst stage production Baptism, or Krst Pod Triglavom -- Baptism Below Triglav in full.
Triglav itself is Slovenia's highest mountain, while the baptism in question refers to a historical battle between Slovenian pagans and invading Germans who won the day and forcibly converted the losers to Christianity.
Wagnerian opera is unsurprisingly a chief reference point, though the group focuses on a mantra-like repetition of musical and lyrical phrases, doubtless the better to draw the parallels to unthinking fascist reactions.
