Side Projects - Paracelsus

On the 31st of October 1994, Ljubljana distributors/publishers Nika/Ropot released an esoteric album by artists from the Department of Pure and Applied Philosophy and 300,000 Verschiedene Krawalle (a Laibach side project), called "Paracelsus".

Paracelsus was the first musical performance created by Peter and 300.000 V.K. and an artistic event called "The Whip of God", in the year 1992 in Villach, Austria. In this town also lived and worked Phillipus Aureoulous Theophastus Bombastus von Hochenheim - Paracelsus, famous renaissance doctor, theologician, magician, alchemist, scientist, philosopher.

The record sees the launching of the theory and musical style known as Satanic techno. Just as Paracelsus drove away illnesses, so Satanic techno means the force which the divine spirit uses to destroy the kingdom of evil through trauma therapy, thus demonstrating its dominance over nature, and wields like a method of exorcism.

To coincide with the release Peter and 300,000 V.K. filmed a promotional video "Venite Lucifer", made in cooperation with Retrovision. The project was presented live at Laibach's concert at DC3 Dakota in Ljubljana on the 26th of October 1995.
