Members
In 1978, Dejan Knez formed his first band Salte Morale., essentially the first incarnation of Laibach. During the summer of 1980, following the suggestion of Knez' father, famous Slovenian painter and artist Janez Knez, the band changed the name to Laibach. This incarnation included Dejan Knez, Srečko Bajda, Andrej Lupinc, Tomaž Hostnik and Bine Zerko. Soon after that, Knez's cousin Ivan (Jani) Novak and Milan Fras joined the band. In the first period Laibach were a quintet, but soon after that they declared that Laibach has only four members – ‘Vier Personen’. From the mid ‘80s to mid ‘90s, the four full-time members were Dejan Knez, Milan Fras, Ervin Markošek and Ivan (Jani) Novak. Sometimes those four members of the band operated under their pseudonyms: Dachauer, Keller, Saliger and Eber. From time to time, other musicians, such as Oto Rimele (from Lačni Franz band), Nikola Sekulović, bass player from the Demolition Group, Matej Mršnik and Roman Dečman, amongst other, have joined Laibach. Slovene singer and radio announcer Anja Rupel has also performed with the group.
The press photos for Volk album showed Ivan Novak, Milan Fras, Boris Benko and Primož Hladnik. Benko and Hladnik are members of the group Silence, and collaborators on the Volk album.
