Refused released the album War Music , a record that calls for revolution with a punk and diverse sound.
Regarding the album, the band said it is driven by a left-wing political and social ideology:
"Right now, we who believe in the equal distribution of wealth, in a direct, egalitarian, and ecological democracy, we who use gender-neutral pronouns like solidarity, moral responsibility, intersectionality, and class struggle, we who believe in Marxism, are backed against the wall, surrounded by enemies. Our movements are being prohibited and our rights violated. It has 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 believe that patriarchy is a cancer
And we still believe it can be cured.
We still believe in the power of art to transform and expand the mind.
Last but not least:
We still believe in the total and violent obliteration of the 1%.
Red blood until they were all completely dead.
Let's go."
