Refused Announce New Album!

  • Refused Announce New Album!
    POSTED


    Refused are fucking alive. There’s no escape. The Iconic Swedish hardcore
    band is releasing Freedom, their first new album in 17 years on June
    26
    via Epitaph.


    In 1998 Refused released their iconic album The Shape of Punk to
    Come
    . It was also the year that the band broke up and declared “Refused
    Are Fucking Dead
    ”. Fourteen years later, the band reignited in 2012
    for a Coachella performance. The group started contemplating new music within
    the first four months of the reunion tour, a process greatly aided by the fact
    that drummer David Sandstrm,
    guitarist Kristofer Steen, and bassist Magnus Flagge had already
    been writing together informally for several years under the auspices of a new,
    vocal-less band.

    Frontman Dennis Lyxzn states:

    Its not a reunion anymore. This is one of the most radical things
    weve ever done, both musically and lyrically
    .

    Drummer David Sandstrm
    adds:

    Nobody
    wanted us to fuck with the image of the band who makes a great album and splits
    up. Nobody wanted us to dilute it. That actually provoked us
    .

    June 26 cant come quickly enough!
