Listen To The First New Refused Song In 17 Years!

We all knew it was coming. Swedish hardcore band Refused have announced both an upcoming tour with Faith No More and a new album. And today, the band have premiered their first new track in 17 years via Pitchfork.

The track is called “Elektra,” and not only is it exactly the kind of raucous track you’d expect from the band, but it also has a video that is just a total mindfuck. It’s always cool to see a band using their reformation to do something actually cool and entertaining.

Watch “Elektra” below. The new album, Freedom, is out June 30th on Epitath. Headlining and FNM supporting dates are beneath the video. Get pumped, guys.
