The six hundred and third album: #603 Laibach - Opus Dei
Starting off with a heavy industrial cover of Live is Life, lending a far darker bend to the song, there's a statement made from the start that this isn't the energetic upbeat sound that's common in the eighties. With its rebel origins, you have to link the sound to the oppressive Soviet communist vision that would have been there in Eastern Europe as Yugoslavia was falling apart and everything must have seemed to crumble while there are the feelings of oppression. There's obviously other metal music that follows up on it, and the link to the more well known Rammstein is obvious, but it also makes it hard where their opinions fall. It's certainly deliberately provocative, in a way that becomes oppressive the more the album goes in, and the full CD version moves to being too much of the one thing, especially since it can't help but affect you as you listen.
