United Kingdom (1981 – present)
Death in June are led by UK musician Douglas Pearce, and credited with the initial development of neofolk music along with Current 93 and Sol Invictus.
Death in June emerged in 1981 from the remnants of the punk unit Crisis, reuniting singer/multi-instrumentalist Douglas P. and bassist Tony Wakeford; drummer Patrick Leagas completed the original lineup, which made its live debut late the following year with an opening slot for The Birthday Party.
The 12-inch Heaven Street soon followed, and in 1983 Death in June issued their first full-length effort, The Guilty Have No Pride. From the outset, the group was criticized for its adoption of fascist imagery, and charges of Nazism dogged Pearce throughout his career. However, Pearce is openly homosexual and has also collaborated with various ethnic Jews throughout his discography; the official Death in June web site used to sport an Israeli flag, and Death in June played live in Israel on June 18, 2004 for a predominantly Jewish audience.
Upon completing the Burial LP, Wakeford left the lineup to form Sol Invictus. Following the release of 1985’s Nada!, only Pearce remained, with Leagas exiting to form his own project, Sixth Comm.
Beginning with the 1986 double album The World That Summer, Pearce continued Death in June primarily as a solo concern, aided by a revolving group of collaborators including Current 93’s David Tibet, Boyd Rice and Coil’s John Balance.

You can count yourself lucky then, I started listening to Di6 just one year after he stopped playing live. :P

When I saw Di6 the crowd devoted itself to supplying all the missing Rose parts in a gruesome falsetto. It can never be the same again.

It's really the alpha and omega of Rose tracks. The only one that comes close is her version of Break The Black Ice. Though I find sometimes when I intensely need a spike of Rose that /Godstar does the trick. She's something of an angel.

To Drown A Rose is nice. He should've done more duets with Rose McDowall.

@garynotrashcoug Take a look at Sol Invictus' MySpace. Tony answers mail there personally, and the last political action he endorsed on his blog was signing a petition to _oppose_ deporting an Iranian lesbian from the UK back to her home country where she would be in danger.
