Album Notes & Community Reviews
Laibach brought their subversive, highly controversial aesthetic to a wider audience with 'Opus Dei', blending totalitarian bombast with mechanical industrial rock. The album infamously transforms pop hits into terrifying, militaristic anthems featuring roaring brass, Wagnerian choirs, and deep, guttural vocals. It is a dark, incredibly satirical critique of nationalism and mass culture conformity.
