Det hr r en orovckande, men rtt gammal historia. Har ngon frsk information om utvecklingen?
N, i korthet r detta vad som hnde:
Douglas P. i Death In June fick 2005 veta att gruppens album "Rose Clouds Of Holocaust" blivit bannlyst i Tyskland. Han skrev motvilligt en lng frklaring av associationerna i sin lyrik:

"In June, 2004 I was invited to perform in Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel. Death In June did so to an enthusiastic audience of over 500 and there are even pictures of me on stage waving a ‘Totenkopf 6’ flag alongside an Israeli one. I did numerous interviews with both Israeli magazines and radio stations. Death In June LPs/CDs are freely available in Israel. T-shirts are even licensed for manufacture there.
I find it ironic that I am so welcomed in Israel yet I am suspiciously viewed by the German authorities for censorship. But, I suppose that fits well with the contradictory nature of Death In June."
Detta svar var uppenbart inte tillrckligt, utan Douglas P. blev tvungen att frklara sig ytterligare.
Men hur slutade allts det hela?
Death In June r en central pionjrgrupp inom den genre som kallas Neofolk. Har liknande censur drabbat andra grupper inom genren? En av de mest fascinerande grupperna inom neofolk, Current 93, gnar sig envist och stndigt t vrldens undergng... det borde vl f censurivrare av ngot slag att flyga i taket?
