“Laibach at their most stentorian and intense…” – The Quietus "When a band can conjure such bleakness with such power and with so few gestures, it’s seriously impressive." – The Stranger "...a sonic masterpiece...a truly mind-altering journey put to record." – Cryptic Rock LAIBACH unveil a new live video for “Vor Sonnen-Aufgang” ahead of their European tour which starts on November 4 in Budapest and includes a London performance on November 23 – full details below. The video, directed by Tomislav Gangl, features Laibach with the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra, recorded earlier this year for a very special live performance at the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall in Zagreb, Croatia. Watch the video here. The track is taken from Laibach’s latest album, Also Sprach Zarathustra, out now on Mute. The music was originally composed for a theatrical production of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, based on Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical novel of the same name. Watch a teaser for the album featuring “Ein Verkündiger” and footage from the production here. Laibach’s infamous North Korean tour (in 2015, on the anniversary of the DPRK’s liberation from Japan) is documented in Liberation Day, a film directed by Morten Traavik and described by MOJO as“a humorous, disturbing, illuminating and sometimes moving immersion into an anomalous communist mirror-world …” while Vulture Hound said, "Imagine George Orwell directing Spinal Tap and you’re somewhere close to the mark." The film is currently screening at film festivals worldwide. For the latest screenings and details go to http://www.liberationday.film/ The Museo Reina Sofía (home of Picasso’s Guernica) in Madrid is currently hosting a retrospective of Laibach art and the NSK. Laibach Kunst 1980 + Neue Slowenische Kunst 1984 - 1992: From Kapital to Capital will run until January 8, 2018. Watch a short film about the retrospective here. On November 26, Laibach will hold a special event at the museum with a lecture and performance, re-enacting the 1983 show from the Music Biennial Zagreb. Thirty-five years on from their genesis in the then-Yugoslavian industrial town Trbovlje, Laibach are still the most internationally acclaimed band to have come out of the former Communist countries of Eastern and Central Europe. Founded in the death year of the country’s founding father Tito, and rising to fame as Yugoslavia steered towards self-destruction, Laibach can make you think, dance and march to the same music.
