Laibach are a Slovenian avant-garde group founded in 1980 in Trbovlje, operating as the musical arm of the Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) art collective. Their sound spans industrial rock, neoclassical and electronic music, delivered through a stage aesthetic that deliberately plays with totalitarian imagery. Landmark releases include Opus Dei (1987) and a string of provocative cover albums; in 2015 they became the first Western band to perform in North Korea. Their 2026 album MUSICK is their first original studio record since 2014.
Laibach released the studio album MUSICK on May 1, 2026 via Mute Records - their first original studio album since Spectre (2014), produced by Richard X.
The MUSICK tour runs from May to October 2026 across Europe, with performances in Cologne, Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, Warsaw and Prague (sold out), among others.
On November 28, 2025, the Laibach 40-boxset was released by Mute Records, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of their debut album from 1985.
In May 2025, Laibach released the symphonic album Alamut, a collaboration with the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra and Iranian composers, inspired by a Persian novel from the 11th century.
On December 13, 2024, Opus Dei Revisited was released via Mute Records, a double reworking of the iconic album from 1987 - one version by Laibach themselves, one by original producer Rico Conning.
