      was not familiar with them…

      from their wiki - had performed at rallies for The Right to Work, Rock Against Racism, and the Anti-Nazi League. -

      holy shit this is a ride

      “The Totenkopf-6 is a slightly grinning skull, framed by a circle and a small 6 in the lower right corner. Death in June has, since at least the State Laughter / Holy Water 7″, used variations of the Prussian Totenkopf or “Death’s Head” symbol. Indeed, there is another explanation that has been given by Pearce, he has also stated that it symbolises “total commitment” to the group, akin to the total commitment of soldiers of the SS”

      ah… getting to the shit that matters -

      “The Southern Poverty Law Center considers Death in June to be white power music harboring neo-Nazi sympathies.”

      yeeeaah this all fits

          I refuse to make a distinction anymore. If you “joke” about being a Nazi, you’re a Nazi.

          I was in the scene at the same time and me and my friends were always making fun of neofolk bands and their fans, because its such boring music and simply copying clothing styles of the 1940s, fitting to the boring mind of a nazi
