Refused have released “Dawkins Christ”, a fervent new song from their highly anticipated new album Freedom. Freedom, which comes out June 30 on Epitaph, is the band’s first new album since their iconic 1998 album The Shape of Punk to Come.
According to drummer David Sandström:
“The title [Dawkins Christ] refers to the famous biologist whose atheist theology has inspired a semi-cult who in turn sees 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.”
