Volk is the seventh
studio album by
Slovenian industrial group
Laibach, released in 2006. The word "volk" means "people" or "nation" in German and "wolf" in Slovene. The album is a collection of thirteen songs inspired by
national or pan-national
anthems, plus the anthem of the
Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) State, a fictional state invented by the band. The album is a collaboration with another Slovenian band,
Silence.[5]
The anthem of the NSK state 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 "
We shall fight on the beaches" speech.
