Refused confirmaron en el día de ayer y a través de un mensaje en las redes sociales, que su nuevo álbum de estudio llevará el nombre de War Music.
War Music, la continuación de Freedom (2016) será publicado el próximo 18 de octubre y su primer avance, un single titulado Blood Red, llegará a nosotros en streaming el 2 de agosto. Como ya se comentó hace unas semanas en relación a unas declaraciones de Dennis Lyxzén, vocalista de la banda sueca, parece que este nuevo disco estará inspirado en ese clásico titulado The Shape Of Punk To Come, así que ojito a lo que se estrenará la semana que viene.
El anuncio viene acompañado de un texto político que podéis ver a continuación:

Aquí, el comunicado de la banda en su web:
"Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows”
-Leonard Cohen
In the present moment, we who believe in the equal distribution of wealth in a egalitarian, ecological direct democracy, we who use gender-neutral pronouns and words like solidarity, moral responsibility, intersectionality and class warfare, we who believe in the marxist dictum "from each according to ability, to each according to need" are on our back foot, on our backs, backed up against the wall, surrounded by enemies, our movement curtailed, our rights violated. It's been clear for some time: the sun is setting on our beliefs.
But we still believe that capitalism is cancer
and we still believe it can be cured.
We still believe that the patriarchy is cancer
and we still believe it too can be cured.
We still believe in the power of art to transform and expand the mind.
And last but by no means least:
We still believe in the total violent obliteration of the one percent.
Blood Red until we're fucking dead
Let's go
