Whilst some people try to re-write history, Death in June continues to reclaim it. These recently discovered recordings were unknown to members of the group until 2005. They feature a rehearsal studio recording in 1981 of nine songs, some of which were never named or released. These are coupled with eight live songs from the seminal performance at Alan McGee's 'The Living Room' club in London, 9th September, 1983. It was on that fateful evening that Mr. McGee introduced Douglas P. to David Tibet. Musical history was never to be the same again. Via Soleilmoon and NERUS these recordings now get a proper release and represent very rare and unheard archive material. The CD comes in a black and silver foil-blocked gatefold sleeve 'softpak' which includes a 9.5" x 9.5" (24 cm x 24 cm) double-sided poster., Labelcode COBS1360548.2
"The Phoenix Has Risen" es un impactante lanzamiento en formato CD del influyente grupo neofolk Death In June y producido por el sello Supernatural. Este álbum destaca por su característico estilo: melodías oscuras con tintes folk y ritmos marciales envueltos en atmósferas profundas e hipnóticas que han cautivado al público internacional durante décadas enteras. Las canciones exploran temas como el renacimiento personal y colectivo o las transformaciones vitales; todo ello bajo una lírica profunda e introspectiva típica del repertorio del grupo liderado por Douglas P., pionero desde los años ochenta con discos emblemáticos como ?But, What Ends When the Symbols Shatter?? o ?Rose Clouds of Holocaust?.
El fabricante Supernatural goza de gran prestigio gracias a su apuesta constante por producciones musicales innovadoras y cuidadas tanto en calidad sonora como estética visual; apoya especialmente a artistas vanguardistas dispuestos a romper moldes dentro del panorama contemporáneo.
