Bio

Death in June ([dɛθ ɪn d͡ʒjuːn]) est un groupe (one-man band) britannique de musique expérimentale, pionnier du néofolk. Il est formé en 1981 par Douglas Pearce, aux côtés de Patrick Leagas et Tony Wakeford.

Dirigé principalement par Douglas Pearce après le départ de ses cofondateurs, Death in June est connu pour son utilisation délibérée d'esthétique et d'iconographie fascistes et nazies, ce qui a conduit à des annulations de concerts et des interdictions dans certains pays. Pearce nie toute sympathie pour le nazisme, affirmant que « les gens sont tombés dans le piège de prendre [l'imagerie du groupe] au pied de la lettre ».

Death in June (abbreviated as either DI6 or DIJ) are a neofolk group led by English musician Douglas P. (Douglas Pearce). The band was originally formed in the United Kingdom in 1981 as a trio. However, after the other members left, in 1984 and 1985, to work on other projects, the group became the work of Douglas P. and various collaborators. Over the band's four decades of existence, they have undergone numerous shifts in style and presentation, resulting in an overall shift from initial post-punk and industrial music influence to a more acoustic and folk-music–oriented approach. Douglas P.'s influence was instrumental in originating neofolk music, of which his music has subsequently become a part.

Its visual aesthetic uses symbols and imagery evoking Nazism, which has fueled controversy, with the Southern Poverty Law Center claiming the band made white power music, and several of its albums were banned in Germany. Pearce denied the allegations, stating that "people have fallen into the trap of taking [the imagery] on a surface value".
