Die Laughing are an English goth band formed in 1986 by John Berry.
Die Laughing are mainly remembered for their input to the 1990s goth scene with the classic lineup of Rachel Iden, John Berry and Ian Holman. Between 1992 and 1999 this line-up went on to release several albums and headline major venues and festivals throughout the UK and Europe.
Mick Mercer said in his book Hex Files: The Gothic Bible what they have "which virtually every other UK act lacks, is this knowledge of melody and how to twist things into delightful forms". They were notable from their contemporaries because of the way they combined driving female vocals with hard edged gothic rock, a style typically dominated by male vocalists. Their unique and influential sound would lead them to become one of Britain's most popular gothic ethereal bands in the 1990s.
