Death In June

Country: United Kingdom

Death In June is an English group formed in 1981 by Douglas Pearce, Tony Wakeford and Patrick Leagas, and led by Pearce since the mid-1980s. Starting from post-punk and martial, industrial percussion, the project moved towards acoustic guitar songs and is often credited with shaping neofolk. Its use of military and Nazi-era imagery has been widely criticised, and some records and concerts have met bans and protests.
