Laibach’s New Song: "Allgorhythm" (feat. Wiyaala)

For those unfamiliar with Laibach: they are not just a band, but an avant-garde art collective founded in 1980s Yugoslavia. From the start, they stormed through the Eastern Bloc’s art scene like a bulldozer, leaving authorities baffled and ultimately forcing them into exile. Laibach relocated to the UK, where they continued their provocative work.
Their music is layered with irony, reverse psychology, and biting sarcasm—never designed to be "nice" or easy listening. A recurring theme in their art is totalitarianism, and their new song, "Allgorhythm," seems to explore this very idea. Laibach has previously dissected totalitarianism from both the left and right, as well as religion, with their legendary trolling of North Korea standing out as a masterclass in subversion. Somehow, they secured an invitation to perform there as the first Western band ever—and made the most of it.
This new track is a clear critique of social media. It samples viral videos, and the title and lyrics expose how we’ve all become slaves to algorithms—a modern form of totalitarianism. I can’t wait for their new album.
