Refused have released a video for their track Dawkins Christ.
It’s taken from the Swedish hardcore outfit’s album Freedom, which will be issued on June 30 via Epitaph. They previously issued opening track Elektra.
The band say of Dawkins Christ: “The title refers to the famous biologist whose atheist theology has inspired a semi-cult who see him as a messianic figure –an irony that partly inspired the lyrics.
“The music draws from the film scores of Hans Zimmer and Ennio Morricone as well as pre-Reign In Blood Slayer.”
Refused reunited in 2012 after originally splitting in 1998. They have a number of tour dates running through to October, including slots at Reading and Leeds festivals.
