Death In June has had a long, varied and at times controversial
history. We hope in due course to provide an overview of this, but
in the meantime we present an update of current activity. Death
In June are on the New European
Recordings label which is distributed by World
Serpent. Please see the NER page for Douglas P's other activities.
Work is in progress on a Death in June video/CD-ROM which will
feature material from the beginning to the present. Douglas was
due to go to Croatia on December 6th to 'shoot' the final touches!
Whilst on the subject of Croatia, nearly £20,000 worth of medical
equipment has so far been donated to the Bolnicki Clinicki in Zagreb
to help those who have lost limbs in the war. All this was raised
from sales of the album Something Is Coming.
Douglas's vocals have been featured on two techno releases in
Croatia; one of which was a number one in the dance charts both
there and in Italy! The name of the group is Futureshock
and the respective 12" titles are 2001 and Rave Imperium.
The second one also features a brilliant contribution from Occidental
Martyr. A video of the two songs is available (price upon application)
and a 12" of Rave Imperium can be obtained (£10 inclusive
of postage - or the equivalent in Deutschmarks/U.S.Dollars) from:

DEATH IN JUNE PRESENTS KAPO
Death In June presents KAPO (1996 NERO XIII) is a collaboration
between Douglas P. and Richard Leviathan. The music is absolutely
brilliant. At first soft with whispered vocals, it is suggestive
of the loungey style found on Douglas's Scorpion
Wind project, but it soon becomes apparent that it is no parody
of cocktail-bar music.
The words seem pregnant with meaning and yet are wholly obscure,
though the theme of betrayal is obvious enough. The front cover
shows, presumably, a Croatian grave.
The first track, 'Wolf Wind', has the rhythm of Anglo-Saxon heroic
poetry:
Wayward we know the wanderer's journey
This single willed life earns its own exile,
When gladness has gone,
Gathereing sorrow,
When sadness has come
Gathering strength,
We bind the dark mood fast in our vigil state...
The lyrics on the other tracks are also hightly poetic, and quite
a few samples are cleverly woven into the tapestry of the songs.
It is a relatively short CD (38 minutes) but beautifully crafted.
