Death In June

British neofolk group

Death In June is a British neofolk group led by Douglas Pearce, who has been the mainstay and consistent member since its inception. The group was formed in 1981 after the disbandment of the punk band Crisis, which Pearce was a part of. Death In June quickly became a pioneering force in the post-industrial and neofolk music scenes, known for their controversial imagery and themes often associated with historical events and existentialism. Their sound is characterized by a blend of acoustic and electronic instruments, martial drumming, and somber melodies, often accompanied by Pearce's distinctive baritone voice.
