Slovenian avant-garde Laibach will release «Laibach 40» vinyl and CD box sets, to mark the 40th anniversary of their debut album - on November 28th, 2025 via Mute Records.

Originally released in 1985 without the band’s name – banned at the time in Yugoslavia – and with Tito’s speeches censored by a shrill bleep, this legendary debut now appears in a fully remastered facsimile edition, bearing its originally intended name for the first time: «Nebo žari / The Sky is Glowing».

The box set also includes historic recordings from Laibach’s early years. «Ljubljana – Zagreb – Beograd» (2025 Remaster) captures their first concerts across Yugoslavia in 1982, including tracks from early rehearsals held in a practice space wedged between a mortuary, dissection room, and madhouse. «M.B. December 21, 1984» (2025 Remaster) documents a legendary semi-legal Ljubljana concert, appearing on vinyl for the first time. «We Forge the Future» (Live at the Cukrarna Gallery 2025) presents a unique recent performance with historical members, recreating the infamous 1983 Zagreb Biennale concert, exclusive to this box set.
