The Shape Of Punk To Come Obliterated: A Tribute to Refused

There’s a seismic shift coming to the landscape of hardcore music. In a monumental convergence of sound and fury, a collection of the most influential bands in the scene have gathered to pay homage to the iconic hardcore legends, Refused, with the release of an explosive tribute album, ‘The Shape Of Punk To Come Obliterated.’
This isn’t your typical covers album. Each participating band – from the raw energy of Idles to the post-hardcore urgency of Touche Amore – is set to bring their unique perspective to tracks that have challenged and galvanized a genre. Quicksand’s powerful riffs and Cult Of Luna’s atmospheric intensity will redefine the soundscapes of songs once screamed in underground venues worldwide.
- Idles – Fusing punk’s anti-establishment ethos with incendiary live performances.
- Quicksand – Defining post-hardcore with their weighty grooves and introspective lyrics.
- Cult Of Luna – Expanding boundaries with their monumental blend of sludgy riffs and ambient textures.
- Touche Amore – Stripping music back to an emotional core with poignant screams and delicate melodies.
What’s particularly enthralling about this project is the chance to revisit the seismic impact of Refused’s ‘The Shape Of Punk To Come’. Released as part of a special 25th-anniversary edition, this tribute album is a testament to the enduring vitality of heavy music.
