had the rare opportunity to have an interview with Douglas P. from Death in June on Friday December 12th in the afternoon via phone. I apologize with the delay in the review being posted. Douglas is a very interesting and down to earth person to talk to, and he cares about his fans quite a bit. Death in June formed sometime around 1980-1981 in the wake of the dissolution of Crisis. Douglas Pearce and Tony Wakeford were leftover from Crisis. Since than Death in June has utilized the talents of…

The Odin Hour An interview with Douglas P. / Death In June. Conducted by AAC on November 7th, 2003. http://www.helixes.org/livsbok ”The dawn is ours if the dream is pure Who invites the world to the final cure?” For well over twenty years Death In June, headed by the enigmatic Douglas P., has remined true to its vision. Being one of the primary founders of an entire genre of music, Death In June is still uncompromising and sometimes controversial, and is surrounded by an aura of mysticism that still continues to…

Death In June En spegel för människors tankar Det mest mytomspunna och tillika mest spelade av alla neofolk-band torde vara brittiska Death In June som sedan början av åttiotalet förgyllt världen med rak dark wave-influerad rock, mjuka akustiskt folkinspirerade ballader och hårdare industri-tongångar. Sedan Patrick Leagas och Tony Wakeford valt att lämna bandet stod Douglas Pearce snart som ensam härskare över det gryende imperium som Death In June kom att bli. Med en mängd gästartister och konspiratörer där David Tibet och Boyd Rice nog är mest utmärkande, blev Death In…

A mediados del pasado año 2003 la revista Antiphonal consiguió acercarse a Douglas Pearce, de Death In June en un momento muy especial para él. Después de duros años de batallas legales con su antigua casa distrubuidora, conseguia mantener los derechos de sus canciones tras un largo y complejo juicio que, absurdamente, quiso ganar World Serpent. Quizás por este motivo tuvimos frente a nosotros a un sincero, directo y emotivo Douglas, que nos contó parte del pasado y del fututo de esta legendaria formación británica, pionera del mal llamado dark…

What is your idea of perfect happiness? A Life without anxiety and fear, filled with Love, Reassurrance and Achievement and plenty of food in the cupboard, a roof over one’s head and a warm, welcoming bed where one can sleep easy at night. If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, what would you do? George W. Bush and I’d fuck anyone I wanted and tell the world about it too. Pretty much what he does already so he shouldn’t mind. Which person (living or…

Interview done by internet, directed by Vince, September 2004 Hello Enrico ! Before all, can you introduce yourself ? What is your job, what kind of studies did you do ? Hi Vince ! Well… I’m Italian, but I’ve been living in New York for the past 8 years (’96). I’ve been interested in “arts” all my life… going to art school at the beginning, and then following classes of Architecture, industrial design… and then fashion !!! How did you meet Douglas P. ? Were you a dark folk fan before ? I’ve always love some kind…

What can one say about Death In June’s NADA! that hasn’t been said before? NADA! holds such a pivotal position in the history of Death In June as it captures the group at the pinnacle of their songwriting partnership – a situation that couldn’t last and one that ultimately forced Douglas P. to pursue a solo vision following the release of NADA!. Combining post-punk credentials with the burgeoning electronic scene NADA! is almost schizophrenic in its approach. ‘He Stood Like Jesus’- an off the cuff remark from NADA! collaborator David…

DP: I’m very happy about that because I see Death In June as part of a European cultural revival. I’m pleased that the Old Gods are being resurrected, for want of a better word. Old symbols. I feel very pleased that I am a part of that process and that I have had influence. At this stage in the game, so to speak, it’s not false modesty to say that I am content with my influence. It’s not beating my own drum, it’s fact. If nothing ever were to happen…

White, Uncircumcised Cocks An Interview With Death In June’s Douglas Pearce by Tracy Twyman DR: How did you first become involved in the occult? What was the first Aleister Crowley book you read, and how did it affect you? DP: I think my interest in the occult has always been there. I don’t feel I’ve had any choice in the matter. As a child my parents had me exorcised because I kept having visions of all kinds of horrors and would never sleep. This went on for a really long…

Interview by Simone This is a question I’ve been asking to quite a few bands in the last times: 20 years are passed! If you look back to the very beginning of Death In June, what are your feelings, do you have any regrets, is there something you’d like to change? In the 20 years of Death In June’s existence the only true and deep regret I have is that I didn’t get Death In June, and of course the entire NER/Twilight Command catalogue, away from World Serpent Distribution sooner…

Ende 2001 feiert Death In June sein 20-jähriges Jubiläum. Allein das wäre schon Grund genug, Douglas P. einige Fragen zu stellen. Außerdem gibt es noch ein weiteres wichtiges Ereignis – das Erscheinen des neuen Albums “All Pigs Must Die”. Aus diesem Anlass haben wir den Meister über die Hintergründe dieser Veröffentlichung ausgefragt und dabei kamen Geschehnisse ans Licht, die dieses Interview schon vor seinem Erscheinen zum Auslöser intensiver Diskussionen machte. ” All Pigs Must Die” scheint eine Abrechnung mit Bestehendem und der Beginn einer neuen DIJ-Ära zu sein. Inwieweit entspricht…

This are the answers to questions from a Polish magazine, whose name escapes me, asked in 2001. I’m sure your imaginations can fill in the blanks of the missing questions! I never got to see a finished copy so I can only assume this was published somewhere in Poland in late 2001/early 2002: 1. I don’t feel the 2 are related whatsoever. ”Apocalyptic” is a word used by others not by me! Anyway, I never believed in putting Death In June in any sort of musical genre or ghetto and…

Interview:2002-Edge of time DEATH IN JUNE Europe Has Burnt and Burns Again [January 2002, by Audrius Ozalas, Zydrius, Ugne; intro by AO] Death In June always has been something more than music. Since the beginning of the 80s, for many people it was the source of inspiration, for many it had changed the worldview, and for many it had changed the understanding of how the music should sound like. Call it some kind of religion, and maybe you will be right. Apocalyptic visions, magical symbols –- the music of Douglas…

Death In June Interview vom 26.April 2002, Wien. (An dieser Stelle nochmal lieben Dank an Albin Julius, der uns bei der Ausarbeitung und Übersetzung des Interviews seine Hilfe zur Verfügung stellte.) Im Vorfeld des Konzertes versuchten zahlreiche Bewegungen den Auftritt zu verhindern, ironischerweise behauptete sogar eine Aktiongruppe von Homosexuellen du würdest Schwule diskriminieren. Die ganze Aufregung rund um das Konzert bringt dir zweifellos auch Publicity. Genießt du diesen Rummel oder wäre es dir etwas ruhiger doch lieber? Es ist keine Frage des Genießens, ich bin lediglich genervt über die Menge…

An interview with Douglas P Death In June was formed in 1981 by Douglas Pearce, Patrick Leagas and Tony Wakeford. Since 1985 Death In June has consisted of one sole member, Douglas Pearce, aided by others if and when required. It is with this present incarnation of Death In June that this interview is concerned (for a complete dissection of Death In June and their numerous releases read the excellent and informative articles on Death In June in Fractured #1 & #3). Since the last split in personnel Death In…

HOMO CONTRA VULGUM An interview with Douglas P. of Death in June. Easter 1994. Somewhere in London. by Per Norstrom and Johan Birgander When this interview was taped, the latest release from Death In June was the double CD “Something Is Coming” where the group had, as the first British act, played live in Croatia after the war had begun. Douglas tells us of his experiences from living nearby a hospital where patients were desperately trying to survive in conditions where over-crowding and lack of supplies was the order of…

DEATH IN JUNE An interview with Douglas P. by Oliver Phillipe In a time of a new and serious wave of acts of racist and especially neo-nazi violence, don’t you think that the message that DIJ used to convey in the past by wearing theatrical dress (masks of pigs linked to the nazi armband) is still more present in the current events, and I particularly think about the song C’est Un Reve (that would be a vigilant attention of the “black beast”, which can be hidden in one of us,…

How do you introduce Death In June? If you’ve never heard of them (?) I can guarantee that some fragment of their extensive and diverse history will appeal to you, because few musical styles have been left untouched. Whether it’s the early snarls of guitar driven punk, the shrieking distortion, the silvery wind-chimes, the melodic apocalyptic folk, the deafening ritual drums, the winding neo-classical soundscapes or the curious and wonderful looping samples, woven across the entire Death In June spectrum – a native DIJ element lies beckoning within each song…
