Symphonic pieces based on a 1938 Slovenian novel by Vladimir Bartol.

The musicians involved include the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra, the Human-Voice Ensemble vocal group from Tehran, the Gallina Women’s Choir, and AccordiOna, a women’s accordion orchestra backed by additional accordion players, conducted by Iranian conductor Navid Goharib.

      After so many years finally Laibach is back, this is what we expect since so many years, NO MORE synth -Pop, NO MORE EBM, NO MORE Techno, this is blasting orchestral industrial at maximum level...A fantastic masterpiece........ENJOY!!!!

              According to a Finnish record shop website, Alamut will be released on 28th March 2025 on Mute Records. Both CD and vinyl are listed. No announcement from Mute Records yet...so not sure if this is official news. However, it sounds like this project was too good to be completely shelved and never to be officially released?

                      I think this is an official release but unfortunately something went wrong with promotion and has been cancelled. The booklet inside is really professionaly made and whole package - When you holding it you feel that is not cheap made. My guess is it was cancelled perhaps due the cooperation with iranian artists (sanctions)?

                        Why listing an unofficial release with a fake Mute label reference ?
