Death in June
British band formed by Douglas Pearce in 1981. Started off as a post-punk/industrial band, but after a few albums, eventually started becoming folkier, lending themselves as the inventors of the genre of music known as 'neofolk' (although bands such as Changes had adopted similar sounds and themes well before DIJ), gloomy, sentimental acoustic music that had emerged from post-punk/post-industrial circles. Pearce has been the main creative force since it's inception, though he has collaborated with many different musicians throughout his career, including fellow indusrtial/neofolk musicians Tony Wakeford of Sol Invictus, David Tibet of Current 93, Boyd Rice of NON, John Murphy, formerly of SPK, and Patrick Leagas of Mother Destruction.
