I love Death In June. When i first met my better half (CHECK OUT HER SITE WWW.RIOVANCE.COM), i was in county for assaulting a police officer and they put her in the Super max hole in the cell next to mine. I remember how beautiful it was when she sang Heaven Street and She Said Destroy by Death In June, alone in her cell. She was in there for stabbing somebody. she was living knowingly without a future anyway as a result of having H.I.V since she was 13. The virus made her more attractive to me, combining the twin extremes of sex&death, .The social darwinist , might is right, themes of Death In June's lyrics influenced her to be strong and independent,As well as inspireing her to use music as a creative outlet to vent all the fucked up shit in her life,and rise above her heroin addiction and terminal disease. She rolled a pedophile truck driver that tried to rape her friend in a motel room in kansas city,stabbed the guy up,tied him down and shot him up with a viral loaded rig full of H.I.V positive blood. (The conversation we had about this truck driver is used as the intro to my track "The Disease is Love")
I always associated "She Said Destroy" with the Venus in Furs elements of our relationship. Death In June is haunting and cold minimalist music, alot of punks and metalheads have an elitist tendency to dismiss with animosity beautiful accoustic music . Ladytron even did a tribute to Death In June with there cover of Little Black Angel. Go fucking protest a Ladytron show.. I remember reading a six weeks interview in MRR where Athena kautsch said she listens to Ladytron..Better call her before the committe on unpunk activities and burn her at the stake....I hate the human race, i look at death, not as something to fear and a source of shock, but as something beautiful and natural. Strife,war and violence will always be an intrinsic part of humanity. Communism dosnt work , because we are human beings, not an insect hive mind. Writers like Charlee Jacob,Jean Genet and Films like Nekromantik,Martyrs and American Beauty were revolutionary and iconoclast, because there portrayl of death was as something beautiful and erotic, whereas most other films just used death as something to be afraid and horrified of . "DEATH IS THE MARTYR OF BEAUTY"When you live most of your life with a terminal illness, you become more aware of the limitations of your mortality . You gain a better grasp on the world.Death In June celebrated death and strife in that context. To weaker minds , who live in fear of the grave, used to the way death is depicted in Cannibal Corpse lyrics and slasher films, Death In June and Nekromantik's attitude towards this natural part of our existence, is hard to comprehend. Because its about accepting and embracing something you have lived in fear of your whole life. So its of course far simpler to just dismiss this band as nazi bullshit, then actually listen to what is being said and open your eyes. Death In June's music isnt distributed by any national socialist labels. They exist autonomously of and in opposition of most genres and scenes,yet still manage to make a lasting impact. There in fact targeted and scorned by skinheads because of Douglas Pearce being so openly gay. "MANY ENEMIES BRING MUCH HONOR".Comments Pearce made about his sexual prefences were laughabley used by bay area scene police punks to discredit Death In June,.pearce stated in Dagobert's Revenge Zine that he prefered to suck white uncircumcised cock.
This was considered an example of racist hate speech and this portion of the interview was quoted on flyers protesting Death In June.Theres a significant difference between Death In June's misanthropic pro death social darwinist lyrics and there atavistic nostalgia for a simplier quieter prechristian era; and the ideology expressed by white supremacists.Death In June's lyrics and themes are largely influenced by writers and philosphers like Heraclitus,Nietzsche,Octave Mirbeau, and Jack London. (Alot of those authors are distributed by Re/search and AK Press.)
If you're illiterate and don't know the obvious differences between those writers and The works of Hitler,Rockwell and James Mason, then of course you can just call them nazis.. Your already doing and saying the same shit Mccarthy did anyway except your using the word nazi instead of commie. Also Death In June never firebombed the tour bus of bands whose politics they didnt approve of.
Just like what Rupture said :EVERYONE'S A HYPOCRITE.AND WE DON'T FUCKING CARE.
(more to come...)
