Laibach, NME [December 1987]:
"The name Laibach is the old German designation for Ljubljana. It is a historical reminder of the German occupation and the Austro-Hungarian past. By using this name, we evoke a complex psychological trauma and force people to confront their own history. It is not a provocation for its own sake, but a mirror reflecting the hidden totalisms that exist within our culture, language, and collective memory."
