Wha... Seriously. Seriously? These guys??

This is a WTF of the day if I ever had one. Sure, they made their music more "accessible" to a degree at least in recent years. And the organizer had given word they'll behave. And in all honesty you they can easily make themselves look and sound like an easy-listening electro-rock-ish group if they only want to.

But simply the fact that THEY perform as a FIRST foreign band in NORTH KOREA is simply... hilarious and mind-boggling at the same time.

Here, have a taste of how they used to roll in the days.

[TempAcc]

Laibach is pretty great, easily the most accessible industrial out there. I still remember when a SF friend told me how they were walking the streets like they were climbing mountains when they were over there, and when he said hi to them, they just answered JA >:v!

JA

Laibach was never scary though, even in the oldie tiems, at least not as scary as Coil, but then again, nobody is scarier then Coil. Not even Genesis P Orridge.

Glorious Leader allows Laibach to play in Best Korea

That is pretty awesome.

Yeah, I saw them live a while ago, they look pretty tired these days.

Ooh, somebody here knows Coil, nice. Depends on what you mean by scary though.

I guess some other industrial acts are going to be envious, NK is kind of an interesting theme. The Great leader even has his own band now.

Wouldn't know about them being "scary", I'll admit, but I think that was never their plan, they worked much more subtly. From what I know, at least. Modern word for them would be "trolls", but provocateurs works just good enough. One of the stories I've heard (never checked it myself though, take it with a grain of salt) is there was some sort of contest back in the days of Socialist Yugoslavia. Something about drawing propaganda poster of some kind for some occasion held by the state. Well, they somehow applied themselves... And won!

The scandalous part came later, when it was found out their commission, which was held in high praise by the judges and state officials alike... was in fact just an old Nazi propaganda poster that was tweaked a bit. Changing German eagle for a dove or maybe seagull and such. The hilarity.

Hehe, this song was almost banned here in Germany for its lyrics...until it turned out it was a literal translation of a popular song by Queen. Laibach certainly know that everything sounds Nazier in German.

[Sinistar]

Ah yes, this cover is absolutely classic! Didn't know about it being almost banned, but at the same time it doesn't really surprise me, hehe.

I wonder if they'll play this song? Would be cool to see the reaction of people if they did. Actually, it would be cool if the whole thing was filmed. I bet DVDs would sell like hot bums.

[SirQuiamus]

Laibach vs. Moranbong ironic industrial-pop cover of Glorious Patriotic Anthem 애국가 plus Arirang techno remix feat. Juche Child Abuse Guitar Ensemble – with much irony, of course.

It's literally the sound of sucking up to the worst totalitarian regime on the planet, but hey, they're doing it for the lulz, just like Rodman. Did I mention it's totally ironic?

North Korea strikes new blow against imperialism with Pyongyang Standard Time.

The wicked Japanese imperialists committed such unpardonable crimes as depriving Korea of even its standard time while mercilessly trampling down its land with 5,000 year-long history and culture and pursuing the unheard-of policy of obliterating the Korean nation

The new time zone will be 30 minutes behind where it is currently.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Also, I've got great news! I've finally found the proper thread theme.

You are all henceforth required to play this track on infinite loop while viewing this thread as to better venerate the Young General Kim Jong-Un's wise leadership of the Korean people.

Chances this was done because someone was 30 minutes late to a meeting or similar?

[Loud Whispers]

Kim Jong-Un's power over time is only amplified by his ability to WARP

[Loud Whispers]

THIS THREAD NEEDS MORE WARP

[Loud Whispers]

Another senior North Korean executed for disputing supreme leader's forestation policy. Kimmy loves his trees. I also love the symbolism in Kim preserving the trees whilst his people starve.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I mean, good on him for having a progressive forestation policy! It's a start!

[Flying Dice]

We do not have a limit distance of my gun! It is a straight shot in the place that I aimed for with my heart!

Launch furious brilliant exploit infused on the ribbon! Justice of brave marines fighting parted way!

We live in the sky to the ground after, we are the Lanes pilot! Here at home without fuzzy, we can not leave the sky alive! Shield to protect the country we blot in the sky!

Can't make fun of the segment for the tankers, it was pretty solid. PBIs don't get any love, though, even in Best Korea.
