Music, War and Nationalism
I have posted a small review of Laibach’s latest album Volk in Yellow Peril. An in-depth review is available in Finnish for those who frequent Lassen Purkki.
Inspired by that iconoclastic industrial band from Slovenia (where some gruesome battlegrounds from the Great War are located), I drew an anti-propaganda poster of Falco in the battle of Caporetto (Kobarid in Slovenian) 1917, where Italy suffered some of its greatest losses in the war, due to incompetent leadership, an enemy who had actually learned something from its earlier mistakes, bad weather, and sheer bad luck. Today, there is an award-winning museum in Kobarid, dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of dead, wounded and imprisoned soldiers on every side.
