Sold outThere 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.Visit product page →
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”.

Sold outVisit product page →Originally released in 1996 as Scorpion Wind's 'Heaven Sent' CD/LP this album has long been considered the lost'classic collaboration between Death In June's Neo-Folk pioneer Douglas P. and Industrial Music's renegade innovator Boyd Rice.
Recorded in Australia prior to the pair starring in the cult film Pearls Before Swine', it is a unique, melodic and richly orchestrated ode to modern living, modern loving - and modern hating.
Joined by percussionist John Murphy (ex-SPK, The Associates, Current 93) for the first of what was to prove many collaborations between the Unregistered 3'and young Australian group Strength Through Joy (now Ostara), these recordings proved to be the perfect follow up to 1990's ground-breaking Boyd Rice & Friends album 'Music, Martinis & Misanthropy'. However, due to legal problems with distribution, few were to hear this.
Now for the first time in nearly ten years a digitally remastered CD is available including two extra tracks from the era and stunning new artwork, presented in a red and black foil-blocked 'Softpak'.

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.

Sold outWhilst some people try to re-write history, Death In June continues to reclaim it.Visit product page →
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.
