"Remember when music was fun? And the more disturbing the better! From the Death's Head cover to the Third Reich and Odinist imagery this is a fun and disturbing album. Recorded durning the period that brought us Rose Cloud of Holocast and Symbols the music is acoustic and haunting and defending the Aryan way. This is for the strong not for the faint."

Solid Album

"Death In June(Douglas Pearce) hosts a partilcular quality Neo-folk removed from Current 93 and its members that finished the line up of this album. Douglas having been in much more of a industrial rock/goth band that 'was' Death In June, before this album, created this a varrying and dark folk album with Tibet and Rose McDowell adding vocals. As an album this is a solid work. Not as smooth as his later work Douglas still seems to be leaving the much more rock past of Death In June behind. Nowhere near as synth pop/industrial as "Nada" not as silky and ethereal as "But What ends When the Cymbals Shatter" this album fills as a solid prelude to "Wall of Sacrifice" being that in brings very much the same aspects only more present are the small drums and that filter through a few songs in this album. Guarenteed to be a Death In June favorite, "Brown Book" is very worth a purchase."
