to be fair, Laibach of that era (1984/1985) alternates between sounding like Coil (State) and random new wave music (1st Generation TV), but is still usually dominated by Milan Fras' vocal style.
The "mysterious song" has a more of a generic "alternative guitar band" sound to me, which Laibach never were.
Something about the riffs makes me want to say "Foreigner" (or that school of 80s US hard rock) which again, is a genre that Laibach never imitated (although they might just have parodied).
again I point to their 1984/1985 work, which had undertones of sisters of mercy in a couple of their songs. generally not their signature work, but somewhat close in some cases.

personally I was more thinking something like xymox or sisters, without the haunting vocals of either (it actually reminded me most of a local band from the late 80's and early 90's, but definitely not them). but I guess we hear what we want from it :)
I would agree with that suggestion more. As in it sounds derivative of those, not that it could be one of those bands. It definitely suggests "local band" to me.
so, I guess it's possible?
