REFUSED ARE F*CKING BACK!
I had so much fun at Refused’s reunion show at Terminal 5 on Monday night that apparently, when writing up yesterday’s Shadows Fall track premiere, I accidentally tagged the post with “Refused” instead of “Shadows Fall.” Whoops! Thank Axl for catching that one before it went up [inb4 “you guys make worse typos all the time” comments].
It’s hard to put into words how much fun the show was, but Metal Injection’s Frank Godla — who’s been a Refused fan for way longer than I have — has done a stellar job reviewing not only show at the 3,000-capacity Terminal 5, but a secret after-show Refused played at the tiny, 100-cap DIY venue The Acheron in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Read that review and watch some live footage from both shows. I’ve never seen Terminal 5 so raucous and out of control; the entire place was one gigantic mosh pit that was impossible to avoid, so I rolled with it and got good and sweaty. I opted not to make the trek out to Bushwick, but those who did report absolute insanity, and the videos back up that claim.
Refused are fucking back. Go see them if you can, even if you’ve never listened to a note of their music! Video after the jump:
