Full Length Review: Laibach "Opus Dei (Remastered Deluxe Edition)" (Mute) by Daniel Ryan

Band: Laibach
Country: Slovenia
Genre: Industrial, electronic, neoclassical
Format: Digital, CD, vinyl
Label: Mute (UK)
Release date: May 10, 2024
Laibach is an absolute crusher and is the most fantastic things I ever been confronted with in my own life. They sing songs only as they can in Slovenian power and German lyrics. They do all that they can to capture a audience while covering songs from Queen in a different language on One Vision that is so uplifting and remarkable that it keeps me pacing back and forth singing along to the songs which is hard enough to do already. They are unstoppable and out there with a clear purpose. To put out the best version of their songs as possible on this deluxe remastered edition of Opus Dei. Leben Tod had the sounds you might recognize from the greats like Slab! Swans and Godflesh. Definitely for fans of and also for great movie theatrical followers out there, they compose songs that really take you to a forbidden place while Milan Fras vocal approach mesmerizes you on the other end. I have to say that my favorite song off this album is Opus Dei (Life is Life) it goes along well with exploration and going on hikes into the woods. All in all if you listen to electronic and industrial music you might find a newfound love for the band like I have over the years. Now, get me a light beer! –Daniel Ryan
