English neofolk/post-industrial project, formed 1981. Douglas Pearce. But, What Ends When the Symbols Shatter? (1992), Rose Clouds of Holocaust (1995). Post-punk evolved into acoustic folk with martial aesthetics and ambiguous imagery. Controversial — symbols and imagery spark debate. Hugely influential on neofolk, darkwave, post-industrial.
