About this album

Volk is a concept album by Slovenian industrial/pop group Laibach. The album is a collection of thirteen songs inspired by national or pan-national anthems, plus the anthem of the NSK State, a virtual state to which Laibach belong. The album is a collaboration with another Slovenian band Silence.

The album’s liner notes credit Wikipedia as their source for information on the national anthems featured.

The anthem of the NSK is essentially the same arrangement as “The Great Seal”, a song on their 1987 album Opus Dei. Like “The Great Seal”, the words are based on Winston Churchill’s famous “We shall fight on the beaches” speech.
