It consists of music composed and performed by Laibach for a 1987 production of the William Shakespeare play * Macbeth* by at Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg, Germany in 1987. It is the second Laibach album consisting of music written for a play, after their 1986 album Baptism.
Largely instrumental, the music is a combination of dramatic pseudo-classical themes, typically on strings and brass, and militaristic ones dominated by percussion, with musique concrete interludes. Critics have noted the album's resemblance to Laibach's earlier, more radical and experimental style, in contrast with their, at the time, increasing incorporation of popular music elements.
