Death In June (Discussion With "New Musickal Chairs")

*DISCLAIMER*

This video/podcast is an objective exploration of the band Death In June, led by Douglas Pearce, focusing on their significant role in the experimental and NeoFolk music scene that emerged in the UK during the 1980s and 1990s. It is important to address that Death In June has been a subject of controversy due to their heavy use of fascist and Nazi symbolism in their imagery and music. The aim of this video/podcast is to provide a historical perspective on the band’s career and influence within the music genre, rather than to support or condemn their use of such symbols.

I want to make it unequivocally clear that I, as (the creator of this content) Tre' Bell along with Johnathan Cridford, "DO NOT" endorse or support any fascist, Nazi, or extremist ideologies. The presence of such symbolism in Death In June's work has undeniably attracted a following that includes far-right individuals, however, it is crucial to understand that not all listeners or fans of Death In June align with these extreme viewpoints. My intention is to present an unbiased analysis that respects the complexity of the band's artistic expression while acknowledging the problematic nature of their symbolic choices.

This video/podcast is produced for educational and historical purposes, aimed at providing insight into the development of NeoFolk music and its cultural impact. Bands like Current 93, Sol Invictus, and of coarse and primarily Death In June, are seen as the soul pioneers of the NeoFolk genre, along with Tony Wakeford creator of Sol Invitus being an original founding member of Death In June before leaving the band in 1984. By examining Death In June, we can better understand the broader context of the music scene and the diverse influences that have shaped it. This exploration is not an endorsement of any political or ideological stance but a commitment to documenting and understanding the varied facets of music history, especially in the niche underground scenes through out time.

Lastly, I encourage all viewers and listeners to approach this content with an open mind and a critical perspective. While discussing controversial topics, it is essential to engage thoughtfully and respectfully, recognizing the difference between exploring a subject academically and endorsing the ideologies associated with it.
Also lastly, any antagonistic or hateful comments on this video coming from opposing side, or just internet trolls trying to get a rise out of people, will not be tolerated and your comments will be deleted and blocked. With that said. Thank you for watching/listening and for your willingness to delve into this complex and thought-provoking band.
