Death in June is a neofolk musical project spearheaded by the UK musician Douglas Pearce. While initially rooted in post-punk, the group is recognized as a foundational act in the development of the neofolk genre, alongside contemporaries Current 93 and Sol Invictus.
The project officially began in 1981, bringing together Douglas P. (vocals, multi-instrumentalist) and bassist Tony Wakeford. Drummer Patrick Leagas completed the original lineup. Their live debut occurred in late 1982, opening for The Birthday Party.
