Getting its start in 1982, Borghesia is an influential electronic rock group created in Ljubljana, Slovenia by members of the alternative theatre group “Theatre FV-112/15”. The band, along with fellow Slovenian music collective Laibach, were not only at the forefront of Slovenian alternative music scene, but also on the cutting edge of the burgeoning underground dark electronic scenes.
Borghesia created its aesthetics using the imagery of what was prohibited, tabooed, and repressed.Their sound is often compared to that of other groups in the period such as D.A.F., Laibach, Manufacture, and Front 242, whom many cite as the chief instigators of the Electronic Body Music label used to describe such music
After a period of dormancy from the mid-nineties to 2009, Borghesia began to once again create music. The result of these efforts is the album And Man Created God (Metropolis Records, 2014).
