Death In June

The LP comes in a foil-blocked sleeve and includes a double-sided poster and a choice of vinyl colours plus a DIJital download card.

This very special LP features re-recorded, stripped back acoustic 'Totenpop' versions of 15 of the best of 1992's “But, What Ends When The Symbols Shatter?” and 1995's “Rose Clouds Of Holocaust” albums plus 'Leopard Flowers' from the same period which is generally considered one of the high points in Death In June's career.

These classics re-recorded in June 2005 and mixed and produced in December, 2008 were originally only available on the 2009 limited stone commemorative edition 'Symbols And Clouds Euro Cross'.

Another in the “Cleanse The Hand That Feeds You” Leprosy Discs series, this exercise in exorcism is a sonically double edged ritual.

Whilst the original 2001 release saw the return of the classic Death In June instrumentation of acoustic guitars and trumpet, with the addition of accordion by Andreas Ritter (Forseti), industrial elements also permeate half the album.

Out of print for several years, the reissued CD comes in a foil blocked Softpak.

The vinyl edition is a stunningly unsettling Picture Disc limited to 2,000 copies.

Considered to be one of the most influential albums of all time, the deleted original 1987 version of this album stands centerstage with works by The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix and Joy Division.

It marked a definitive shift in style for Death In June and the true beginning of a new musical genre, Neo Folk.

This digitally remastered edition was the bonus CD accompanying the 20th Anniversary Stone Circle Edition of Brown Book issued in 2007, and contains 7 songs from the original album coupled with 7 remixed, re-recorded and rare versions of the remaining songs.

In effect it is Brown Book II, Braun Buch Zwei! To test and to try. This is the sound of the true believer, sounding better than ever!

‘The Snow Bunker Tapes’ are the original guitar/Totenpop versions of the thirteen songs that became the ‘Peaceful Snow’ album.

‘The Snow Bunker Tapes’ were recorded between December 2009 and July 2010 at Big Sound Studios, Adelaide, Australia, and are the original recordings that were given to Miro Snejdr to transcribe onto his piano. They eventually became the ‘Peaceful Snow’ album, which was released on 9 November, 2010.

Although these songs were recorded in a studio setting, no track is as sonically “built” as most Death In June songs are. There are no samples, multi-tracked vocals, effects or even percussion, and studio editing has been kept to a minimum so you can hear talking between some tracks.

Douglas P, in describing the material, said “To paraphrase one of Alan McGee’s favourite lines, ‘It’s pure (Toten) pop!’”

The CD and vinyl editions are packaged in deluxe glossy embossed gatefold covers.

There is nothing more beautiful or so alluring than self-deceit. In a World full of dead ends there is little to hold onto. One sees oneself in how one stands in relation to others. That can be a lonely picture. Lies, therefore, dominate. Sedge grows in the fen flourishing in the water burning the blood of everyone who touches it. There is no cure. When all seems lost, something unexpected happens. To taint beyond redemption, The World That Summer.

NERUS, in association with Soleilmoon Recordings, announces the availability of the standard digipak edition of Death In June’s “The World That Summer”. This
edition follows the shock-and-awe carved soapstone box with double CD version released in December 2006. That edition, limited to 1000 copies and now sold out, already commands a stiff premium on eBay.

Death In June is the musical brainchild of English folk musician Douglas Pearce, better known as Douglas P. Death In June was originally formed in Britain in 1981 as a trio, but after the other members left in 1985 to work on other projects, the group became the work of Douglas Pearce and various collaborators. Pearce now lives in Australia.

Over Death In June's two decades of existence, numerous shifts in style and presentation have occurred, resulting in an overall shift from initial post-punk and Industrial Records influence to an overall more acoustic and folk music-oriented approach. Although sometimes considered controversial, Death In June has become very influential in certain post-industrial musical circles. Pearce's
influence was instrumental in sparking neofolk, which his music has subsequently become a part of.

NERUS is Death In June’s new American imprint. The label was launched in 2005 with a collectible T-Shirt (NERUS 1). “The World That Summer - 20th Anniversary Edition”, issued in 2006, was the label’s second release, followed in the first two months of 2007 by “The Phoenix Has Risen” and “Take Care And Control”.

Whilst some people try to re-write history, Death In June continues to reclaim it.

These recently discovered recordings were unknown to members of the group
until 2005. They feature a rehearsal studio recording in 1981 of nine songs, some of which were never named or released.

These are coupled with eight live songs from the seminal performance at Alan McGee's 'The Living Room' club in London, 9th September, 1983. It was on that fateful evening that Mr. McGee introduced Douglas P. to David Tibet. Musical history was never to be the same again.

Via Soleilmoon and NERUS these recordings now get a proper release and represent very rare and unheard archive material.

The CD comes in a black and silver foil-blocked gatefold sleeve 'softpak' which includes a 9.5" x 9.5" (24cm x 24cm) double-sided poster.
