| Death in June (Music) | comment |
British band formed by Douglas Pearce in 1981. Started off as a post-punk/industrial band, but after a few albums, eventually started becoming folkier, lending themselves as the inventors of the genre of music known as 'neofolk' (although bands such as Changes had adopted similar sounds and themes well before DIJ), gloomy, sentimental acoustic music that had emerged from post-punk/post-industrial circles. Pearce has been the main creative force since its inception, though he has collaborated with many different musicians throughout his career, including fellow industrial/neofolk musicians Tony Wakeford of Sol Invictus, David Tibet of Current 93, Boyd Rice of NON, John Murphy, formerly of SPK, and Patrick Leagas of Mother Destruction. Lyrical themes involve love, detachment, self-discovery, Douglas' own life, and spirituality, and are full of traditional European symbolism. His influences include Yukio Mishima, Jean Genet, Poetic Edda, Prose Edda, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Anglo-Saxon poetry. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Death in June (Music) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift - Originally a punk band, briefly experimented with dance music, then went to the signature "Neo Folk" sound, which in itself was very electronic until stripping down. There was also a brief period of classical-inspired, march-like, sample-heavy "martial industrial" music in between acoustic folk albums. | |

Vocal Evolution | |
| Death in June (Music) / int_2ef005ab | comment |
Vocal Evolution - Douglas P. singing voice gradually started resembling his natural speaking voice as the music became more stripped down. He used to sing louder in the post-punk and dance eras. | |

| Death in June (Music) / int_44bd31e2 | comment |
Trope Codifier: Along with Current 93 and Sol Invictus for neofolk, but not Trope Namers, as its unknown who exactly came up with the term. The aforementioned group Changes are an Ur-Example along with British folk bands like the Strawbs, Fairport Convention, The Pentangle, etc. | |

Punny Name | |
| Death in June (Music) / int_6d7026fa | comment |
Punny Name: "Hail the White Grain" refers to the Haglaz rune, a symbol of forces beyond control as represented by... hail, which the Anglo-Saxon version of the Rune Poem describes as "the whitest of grains." The Free Tibet remix album features vocals from David Tibet and was released on the Internet at no charge. | |

Straight Gay | |
| Death in June (Music) / int_83b44e80 | comment |
Straight Gay - In his youth, Douglas struggled with his sexuality due to the fact that he doesn't act or look much like a Camp Gay, which was all he knew of homosexuality when he was young. He's so low-key about it that people often don't recognize that his music has more to do with sexuality than with politics, a fact which disappoints him. | |

Canon Discontinuity - On the official website's extensive discography note a timeline separated by decade listing new released and Updated Rereleases and information on every single album pressing, the albums Take Care & Control and Operation Hummingbird aren't listed at all. Lyrics can still be found for every song however. | |

Take That!: "The Humble Brag," in particular points its barbs towards critics who accused the band of neo-naziism. The album All Pigs Must Die was an entire record of songs about how Death In June's record label World Serpent Distribution failed to pay him royalties. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
| Death in June (Music) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point - Whenever Douglas P. is questioned about political issues he sometimes humorously spins the questions. For example, when questioned if "race matters", his answer vulgarly described the type of men he finds attractive. | |
