It's October in 1992. It's Death in June's first show in Croatia. To play such a show here at that time was something barely imaginable. Honestly, when I first heard about this some time ago, I couldn't believe it. This had been the wartime. Neofolk - the genre plus all that goes along with it - something unheard of. And yet, the band did an amazing set, which was also recorded and released as one of the first live recordings (Something Is Coming).
Two decades later, the band returns to the same country, same city, same place. True, they've been here in the meantime, but I don't think any of those occasions had the impact as this one had. This was a celebration of much more than just a band playing yet another show.
Naturally, this was felt in the club, not only through the band, but through the audience as well.

With a setlist of no more than 34 numbers, changing the clothes, and collaborating with Miro Snejdr, an amazing musician (also known for his project with Kentin Jivek: Dois EP), Douglas Pearce pierced our hearts. The music he makes comprises of background instrumentals, percussion, and an acoustic guitar.
His communication with the audience was impeccable, which could also be seen in his attempts at speaking Croatian and incorporating it into the lyrics of his music, just as Miro Snejdr opened the evening with the Croatian anthem.
