I agree, along with Take Care and Control I love Operation Hummingbird and The Wall of Sacrifice as some of my favorites. Bums me out to hear such described as pointless.
I disagree with everything you said about Dougy P’s sound collage works. He’s making cutups when he does shit like that. It’s a William Borrows technique that all the neo folk n topy related projects heavily utilised. For me it’s the most interesting aspect to all these bands sound.
Thanks for this overview. I have only listened to "But, what ends when the symbols shatter" because I was told it was a big inspiration for Agalloch. I liked it but I never got the urge to dive deeper. Now I do.
Awesome stuff! Rose clouds is probably the closest in sound to the Symbols Shatter. I’m not the biggest fan of everything Agalloch have done but I love me some Pale Folklore. Cheers!
Interesting that Agalloch covered a Sol Invictus song called “kneel to the cross”. Sol Invictus was formed by one of the original death in June members, Tony Wakeford.
Very good insights. I remember my little sister being mad as hell every time i put on "all pigs must die", she loved piggies. Would rank "the guilty have no pride" higher myself, love that joy divsion vibe on that album.
also for anyone who wants to get really pretentious about di6, the article "Apoliteic music: Neo-Folk, Martial Industrial and ‘metapolitical fascism’" by Anton Shekhovtsov is a good read if you want a academic perspective on di6
Essence! might not be the last Death in June album, he's talked about how he's written lyrics for a new album but he doesn't have any idea on how to write any melodies for the album or how to sing them, so he's at least attempting to work on a new acoustic album
I'm gonna have to watch this when I have some more time. Your other dij video was thorough and enjoyable. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on albums..
"Lounge Corps" is in fact Miro himself, so the lounge corps sides/takes are the instrumental versions by Miro. I love them. "Symbols of the Sun" is the best song ever made.
Listening to Death in June reminds me of when I used to listen to John Peek's shows. I'd love some stuff, dislike others and be bewildered at times. Definitely needed this video to point me in the right direction. Cheers!
That whole not including "DI6 presents" thing, well... I list Kapo in my top 3. Wolf Wind is just so good. Out of all his atypical releases, this is listed as a DI6 album proper in my book
Here's my completely 100% objective Death in June ranking: 1. Take Care and Control (1998) 2. Nada! (1985) 3. Music, Martinis, and Misanthropy (Boyd Rice and Friends) (1990) 4. The Wall of Sacrifice (1989) 5. The Guilty Have No Past (1983) 6. Heilige! (2000) 7. Operation Hummingbird (2000) 8. Alarm Agents (Death in June & Boyd Rice) (2004) 9.

Peaceful Snow / Lounge Corps (2010) 21. Burial (1984) 22. Nada-Ized! (2022) I know Östenbräun isn't here but I haven't heard it in a very long time so...
Östenbräun is my absolute favorite. The first track especially, I could spin that in a left-field DJ set if someone or some place would allow it without every person just going outside
'the trigger' is the first song from death in june I have discovered, only a few months ago. Really love their folk poetry stuff. The Rule of Thirds is my favourite album now.
I honestly think the wall of sacrifice is one of his best works up there with what ends when the symbols shatter and Nada. All pigs must die has been in heavy rotation for me lately. Wish he would talk about that album more lol it's probably the album he's explained the least of all of them. It seems so deeply personal.
Hi, so I decided the other day to give Nadaized a listen, I was really enjoying it. I definitely agree that it's not really nadaesc, but a very nice listen, I didn't even know about it before watching this video. While listening to it, I thought of you. Just thought you might dig that.
I sort of get the Wall of Sacrifice rating or All Pigs Must Die (despite loving those two personally), take care and control is just such a quintessential Di6 work that it feels almost wrong to rank it so low. Kameradschaft is such a phenomenal Death in June song on its own that it has to get some kind of boost. Anyhow, good video, cheers!
1. Rose Clouds of Holocaust 2. But What Ends When Symbols Shatter 3. Nada 4. Brown Book 5. All Pigs Must Die 6. Peaceful Snow 7. The Rule of Thirds 8. Wall of Sacrifice 9. Take Care and Control 10. The World That Summer
Interesting ranking and comments, as a follower of DIJ for decades, my preferences vary from time to time, but I surely have Rose Clouds, Brown Book, What ends, The Wall of Sacrifice and The World That Summer in my Top 5... And Take I have Care and Operation as separate, they fascinate me, I love the combination that Douglas achieved with Albin Julius (R.I.P.), they are different and very special albums... New suscriber here!!! Cheers from Argentina!!!
I’ve got a new appreciation for the Albin Julius albums, especially Take Care & Control, since making the video, but it is a pain in the ass to change haha
@@linesinwax4996 Yes, I understand, those two albums are different, Take Care is like almost having mixed DIJ with TMLHBAC, and Operation is more "psychedelic", a trait that will be seen more and more in Der Blutharsch albums
Finally got a copy of England's Hidden Reverse and after 30 years of being into this stuff, finally get some insight into the influences etc. Good overview here, DIJ were hit or miss indeed. I never really met any other black folks into this scene. Greetings from SF!
I had no idea it was Patrick until I did this video, I always thought the second vocalist during the 3-piece days was Tony Wakeford. I quickly learned that I was indeed, totally wrong lol Cheers for watching the whole ranking!
Funny. I just watched your COF video, where I found myself 100% aligned with your analysis. Here, putting Take Care and Control and Ops Hummingbird down far in the list is a blasphemy for me 😅. I so much love those two! Well, anyway, I'll still watch your other videos 😉
Haha thanks man! I’ve started to enjoy those albums a lot more recently but I still prefer the “acoustic” albums over the electronic / noisy ones (Nada aside). Many thanks for watching all the videos. There’s another one coming within the hour :)
Been waiting for this video! Excited to see more content from you. A band you should check out if you haven’t already is Jeromes Dream. Curious for your thoughts on their music.
This and your politics of DI6 video got me to do a deep dive on the band and got hooked right away, and honestly Nada-ized is the only album that I actually disliked because yeah its an atrocious, ill-conceived abomination, I absolutely get your dislike of the Martial Industrial and Noise driven records, but I really liked them, though I have to be in the right mood to listen to those records. I also prefer Peaceful Snow over The Snow Bunker Tapes because the latter feels like a demo, plus The Rule of Thirds and Essence! do the later era DI6 neofolk style much better and are more fully realized.
Cheers! Sounds like it’s been a fun journey for you! I’ll admit I’ve recently gone back to the noisy De Blutarsch albums (I’ve spelt that wrong, no doubt) and Take Care And Control is way better than I remember it being!
Hey I’m a very new DIJ fan lemme offer my infinite wisdom lol. As far as to the But what ends album I don’t think I heard ya mention Hollows of Devotion, that’s def one of my favorites on there. I know you said you liked black metal, or Burzum in another video. Did you ever hear Leviathans cover of Nothing Changes?
Relieved to see Nada-Ized put at the bottom. Listened to it once and barely made it through. A Nausea and Heaven Street are two of my favorites and they were both just completely mangled. Think one of the problems is that the electronic bits tended to overwhelm everything including the vocals. Overall a really good ranking. edit- As far as Nada, it's a great album but yeah, it's really outside of what Douglas came to be known for musically. I tend to regard it in the same light as Dead Can Dance's first album. Good, but way out of what you'd expect.
great video!!! , what were your thoughts on the boyd rice + douglas p album? also i recommend "my black diary" on nature and organisations album that douglas done! :D
Been a DIJ observer since Brown Book...What is the takeaway if you will from ODIN HOUR? Just a mere gardener, here who has been influenced by these amazingly skillful folks...
Operation Hummingbird is one of my favourites, I love the band manipulation and cut-ups used on the album. One of those records one has to listen to on vinyl. Also the gay puns are fucking hilarious.
All Pigs Must Die is a horrifically angry and ugly album. When Douglas’s label World Serpent Distribution was facing impending bankruptcy, he and a lot of other artists were owed a large sum of unpaid money for their work. While I understand this is a huge financial blow and a horrible inconvenience for everyone involved, to hear Doug belt out these big scary violent songs about his fight with “three little piggies,” i.e. the heads of WSD at the time, it just comes across as so bitter and acrimonious it’s honestly a little embarrassing. It’s also sad to see how much animosity Douglas was still holding onto towards David Tibet at the time of the album’s release, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he still hates the guy to this very day. The track Flies Have Their House feels like a direct shot at Tibet, mocking his dead father, but I’ve also seen a theory that the toy pig on the front cover, the one whose throat is being cut by Doug, is dressed in a way that resembles the children’s character Noddy, who Tibet was obsessed with and sometimes dressed as around the time the two men were still frequently collaborating together.
@@linesinwax4996 have a read of misery and purity, it's a book that analyses a lot of the use of symbols and lyrics of death in june, made by a fan. It's available on Google in pdf form
1. That's why I love All Pigs Must Die, it's a very menacing, angry album. You can tell he put all of those negative emotions he had towards them into the album, and it's perfect. To me this is the last great Di6 album, not including the Alarm Agents collaboration with Boyd Rice from 04. 2. Tibet apparently stabbed Douglas in the back somehow, don't know the details but apparently it tied in with WSD. If that's the case I can understand not being very forgiving, why forgive dishonorable behavior?
My dream collab - Douglas and Jeremy Reuter of Rome compete with words, while Laibach does some wack-ass background sounds and King Dude is also there.
We get it, you don't like the "sound collages". Some of them are a great foil to the acoustic stuff and I quite like them equally. Wasn't keen on the World That Summer but liked Burial better. The best IMHO is Brown Book.
Just found your channel today, love your videos. If you like how Death In June experiment with elements of noise and industrial you should check out Spears Into Hooks by Meira Asher (if you haven’t already).
Nada!, for sure the best, but Tony Wakeford was let go after Burial (until then, he was the second voice, on NADA it was Patrick Leagas). For me The Wörld that Sümmer is stroger than Brown Book, and The Guilty... would be top 5, probably 😎
I chose to listen to this ranking, after watching your video insight into the world of DIJ and finding it rather interesting. However, this is rather a shallow attempt, I'm afraid...
My ranking (of the albums I know well): 1. Brown Book 2. The World That Summer 3. Rose Clouds 4. Nada 5. The Guilty Have No Pride 6. But What Ends...? 7. The Wall of Sacrifice 8. Take Care and Control 9. The Rule of Thirds 10. Snow Bunker Tapes I consider Burial to be a compilation, not a proper album, like 93 Dead Sunwheels. Both containing crucial tracks. I would say the first four on this list are absolutely crucial listening. The next four are "deep cuts" for those who want to dig further. The final two are for established fans who have overplayed the primo stuff and need more, even at the risk of diminishing returns. I haven't heard All Pigs but will give it a listen on your recommendation. Always dismissed it as a throw away based on the OTT cover.
What a fucking suprise; puts nada at the top & some of death in june's best material at the bottom & middle, yuk! Are you sure you're actually a fan?! Xx P.s missing out kapo is bloody sacrilege!!😆
I keep getting into trouble with TH-cam over sample usage. Being demonetized is one thing, but they’ve started flat out geo blocking my videos in some countries, so it’s hard to justify using them anymore. You can keep them really really short, but is there even a point when that’s the case?
Is Douglas P. a coward for using incendiary political imagery/racially questionable (at best) messages and refusing to “get involved in politics?” Well yeah of course. But is his music great? Also yes.
Nada is the best one to me. Without synths, drums and samples his songs loses a lot. Definitely I don't like so much his only acoustic songs. Cheers. 👍
Take Care and Control is one of the best imo
I agree, along with Take Care and Control I love Operation Hummingbird and The Wall of Sacrifice as some of my favorites.
Bums me out to hear such described as pointless.
I agree… those are his best. Except for Brown Book which is the no 1 and also Rose Clouds, #2. The World That Summer is great also.
Brown Book + World That Summer + Wall Of Sacrifice are my favourites. Control + Hummingbird are very under rated.
I've never thought I'd see you here, Harakiri, but by the gods is this a pleasant surprise.
You’re crazy bonkers nuts

Pls don't take my comment as being nasty sir; completely disagree with some of your choices but in the end you still love Di6! X😆👿
Nada normie confirmed 😄 Do I even like neofolk!? Who knows!?
@@linesinwax4996 good show sir! xx
Thought u wud at least play some samples.
All the best.
I keep getting into trouble with TH-cam over sample usage. Being demonetized is one thing, but they’ve started flat out geo blocking my videos in some countries, so it’s hard to justify using them anymore. You can keep them really really short, but is there even a point when that’s the case?
Is Douglas P. a coward for using incendiary political imagery/racially questionable (at best) messages and refusing to “get involved in politics?” Well yeah of course. But is his music great? Also yes.
I only listened to the first album, I liked the music and the gloomy vibe a lot but the vocals, not so much
Nada is the best one to me. Without synths, drums and samples his songs loses a lot. Definitely I don't like so much his only acoustic songs. Cheers. 👍
Not bad for a lefty 😂
sorry but essence is very bad..
I really like the melancholic songs of Douglas P that can be interpreted as the internalized struggle of repressed queerness.
why repressed? he's pretty open about it.
