Refused Posts "Dawkins Christ" Video Clip
Refused has released "Dawkins Christ," a new song from upcoming album "Freedom" due out on June 30th via Epitaph and the band's first new album since 1998's "The Shape of Punk to Come." According to drummer David Sandström:
"The title refers to the famous biologist whose atheist theology has inspired a semi-cult who in turn sees him as a messianic figure, an irony that partly inspired the lyrics. The music draws from the film scores of Hans Zimmer and Ennio Morricone as well as pre-'Reign in Blood' Slayer."
Seventeen years ago Refused played a "final" show in a basement in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The show was shut down by police in the middle of that final set and days later the band published a manifesto online proclaiming: "Refused is fucking dead." Thus the legacy of Refused was born. This spring, in an unexpected turn, Refused announced the release of a new album. Hear what's in store below.
