Volk is a concept album by Slovenian industrial/techno music group Laibach. The album is collection of 14 national anthem-inspired songs. Each song is an interpretation by Laibach of particular conflicts and issues within each nation. For example Anglia focuses on the struggles of England as a former colonial power, while Francia is undoubtedly inspired by the 2005 civil unrest in Paris.
The album is a collaboration with Silence, who composed and produced thirteen of the fourteen tracks under Laibach's supervision.
It is to be noted, the anthem of the NSK is essentially the same arrangement as "The Great Seal", a song on their 1987 album Opus Dei.
