a controversial group like few ideologically... I miss this album, I listened to them little... I liked To Drown A Rose a lot, on another album, already in the full "neo-folk" era... a simple style, music made with a few essential elements, half dark half industrial in origin, but made original by an unusual acoustic component... European music, by definition... great review too... P.S. "La caduta degli dei" is a STUNNING film!
The themes are quite controversial, yes, I haven’t really grasped much about their political tendencies or ideological references, just as the spiritual references in David Tibet's poetry for C93 are controversial. Nevertheless, their music possesses a unique charm. Recently, I discovered Darkwood as NeoFolk from Germany, very interesting.
I mention my favorites, one from the '80s ("Brown Book") and one from the '90s, which for me is the best, the one to start with "But, What Ends When The Symbols Shatter?".
To start, I would really recommend -nada- because it’s the truest among their works. Maybe the ideal would be to begin with the early ones and gradually move up to -but what ends...-
Absolutely essential record for understanding the musical journey of Death in June! Seminal for the development of what will soon constitute the backbone of apocalyptic folk.
"Strange" album: considered by fans a classic and in fact, in its own way, it is. Divided between classic neo-folk ballads that introduce us to Douglas P.'s new direction and electronic tracks that feel a bit dated today. It’s not my favorite, but it still contains some classics.
