Refused

The Shape Of Punk To Come Deluxe

News del 12/04/2010

"Refused Are Fucking Dead" diceva un antico adagio. Ma lentamente sembra che stiano tornando in vita: la reunion è uno degli argomenti più scottanti degli ultimi tempi, dopo che il sito ufficiale ha iniziato a mandare messaggi di speranza.

Sembra che però la band prenda le cose con molta precauzione ed ecco perchè preferisce mandare prima alle stampe la versione Deluxe del masterpiece "The Shape Of Punk To Come", indiscusso capolavoro di hardcore evoluto.

Questa nuova versione, che arriverà nei negozi il 7 Giugno, sarà accompagnata anche dalla ristampa in vinile dello stesso e conterrà due CD e un DVD contenenti l'album completo, brani inediti e il documentario "Refused Are Fucking Dead".

Disc 3 “Refused Are Fucking Dead” DVD

This 80 minute jaunt into the core of Refused was recorded mainly during their last year in existence as a band. They spent countless nights playing run-down hellholes across the world, especially in the west, and this a documentation of their thoughts, feelings, music and lives.

“If a band ever finds that it is not giving their best effort and playing at the edge of their abilities at all times, then they are not playing the kind of music that they should be playing.” – Patrick T. Daly, taken from the liner notes of “The Shape of Punk to Come” This philosophy, placed in the context of hardcore music, is what makes Refused so unique. On “The Shape of Punk to Come,” complex rhythms, hardcore rage, political activism and a dose of experimental sonic atmospherics, all smashed together to create a seamless ball of energy. Perhaps this explains why this aptly-titled record is often cited as the most influential record ever to arise from the hardcore genre.
