REFUSED 'THE SHAPE OF PUNK TO COME' 2LP

LABEL: Epitaph VINYL RELEASE DATE: 6/8/2010ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 1998VARIANT: Black Vinyl 2LP For as prescient as the Shape of Punk to Come was about the future of heavy music, there’s still nothing — and there never will be anything— that sounds quite like it. Blending diffuse genres like jazz, techno and post-punk with blistering post-hardcore that alternated between chuggy and anthemic, this ingenious sonic concept album from Sweden’s finest is a masterclass in genre ecleticism and a potent piece of cultural criticism that sounds every bit as relevant today as it did in 1998.
