Laibach

Although 2009 didn't see any new Laibach releases, new work did emerge in their live shows in the form of VolksWagner and a selection of completely reworked Laibach material from the early 80's. Laibach toured throughout last year switching between four different programmes with Volk, Kunst der Fuge and VolksWagner before rounding off the end of the year with a tour featuring new interpretations of some of their early music. Aside from touring they also held a major Laibach Kunst exhibition in Lodz, Poland featuring a large collection of artwork, photographs and many other artifacts. They have been working on a number of new projects including a brand new studio album separate from the material for Laibach Revisited and VolksWagner. They have also working on the soundtrack for a new film titled Iron Sky which is expected at some point early in 2011.

2010 will be the 30th anniversary of Laibach and it will be marked in a number of ways therefore would be a good year to visit Slovenia if keen to coincide a trip with Laibach related events such as the Laibach Kunst exhibitions. There are bound to be some concerts and other events marking the anniversary too. Two new albums should be released, the first will be Laibach Revisited a double CD or double LP record, the first disc will be the original first Laibach album from 1985 while the second disc will feature the new reworked version of early Laibach music. Both CD and Vinyl should be lavishly packaged to mark the occasion and be collector items, an additional poster will be included with both vinyl editions. .

Somewhat unsurprisingly no DVDs were released last year though a number had long been prepared and were supposed to have been released quite a while ago, maybe with the anniversary we can be a bit more hopeful this year.
Undoubtedly Laibach will be on the road this year with more concerts and possibly even tours, there has also been rumours they may also travel outside Europe.
