Slovenian avant garde industrial rock band Laibach has just announced Laibach Revisited, a limited edition, specialized box set containing remasterings of two of the band’s albums, with included previously unreleased bonus tracks. The box set includes Laibach, the band’s self titled debut album originally released in 1985, as well as Revisited, the band’s new 12-track album that features reworkings of tracks from the first half of the 1980’s, as well as live recordings of two tracks that were featured in the band’s recent touring, “SMRT ZA SMRT” and “TI, KI IZZIVAŠ”.
Laibach Revisited also contains Underground, a live album recorded in 2012 in the Velenje Coal Mines, 200 meters below the surface of the Earth. Additionally, the box set will include a 160-page book containing 69 authentic Laibach linocuts, featuring an essay on Laibach written by Marcel Štefančič Jr, with additional text provided by former President of Slovenia Milan Kučan, as well as other band merchandise, historical photos, and a foreword written by Igor Vidmar.
Laibach has not been a band to shy away from controversy, which is driven by their curious relationship with North Korea. Laibach has been one of the first European bands to perform live in North Korea, and released an album in 2018 covering songs from The Sound of Music, which was largely inspired by the band’s setlist from their show in North Korea. The band doubled down last year when they released an EP Party Songs which contained six more unpublished tracks from the band’s set in North Korea.
As part of the album launch, Laibach released live footage from their TI, KI IZZIVAŠ tour, which you can check out below. Also check out the album cover art, boxset art, and track list:
