Many people were left disappointed with this follow-up to the brilliant Death in June album But What Ends When Symbold Shatter. In my opinion, Rose Clouds of Holocaust is a quite logical progression to the Symbols and I tend to view the 2 albums as 2 parts of a single work. Listening to Rose Clouds you shall find much Nordic mysticism, absolutely wonderful and at times chilling lyrics, superb vocals (except for the usual cameo appearance by Davit Tibet whose vocals may be a tiny bit annoying :) and a rather minimalistic musical accompaniment of mostly Douglas' guitar. The artwork is also quite fine. Many might disagree but I think that Rose Clouds of Holocaust is undoubtedly one of the best apocalyptic folk albums ever recorded.

Roseclouds of Holocaust is, in my opinion, the best Death In June album -ever- released. Along with others, this album features guest vocals from Rose McDowall and David Tibet (both of Current 93). Very dark, yet peaceful enough to put you in a trance leading you towards the valley of never never land. It's another work of art that flows well from start to finish, with soothing acoustic guitars, other atmospheric goodies, and Douglas P.'s almost monotone voice - this is not only just a great album, but it's a MUST HAVE. If you're a DIJ fan, you have it. :)

Not the type to write reviews. All I can say is I love the album, I'm honored to have it and listen to it at my leisure. Definitely worth the money.
