Born in 1991, then on hiatus until 2012, Refused has a new EP out next month. The new EP is called The Malignant Fire and is to be released on Spinefarm Records. 

On the new record, the band covers the Swedish House Mafia hit "Greyhound," with custom lyrics and reborn as "Born On The Outs" (shared after the jump).

"[Guitarist] Kris [Steen] has talked about the riff in the Swedish House Mafia song 'Greyhound' forever, so we decided to give it our own spin," vocalist Dennis Lyxzén says of the decision. "[Drummer] David [Sandström] and I added some lyrics for this version, which we've called 'Born On The Outs.' Make no mistake though; this is very much 'Greyhound.' But with added lyrics about people who refused to take a side in the ongoing fight against fascism. So, you know, another ordinary Refused song."

Refused released its fifth full-length album, War Music, in 2019.

THE MALIGNANT FIRE EP TRACK LISTING:

"Malfire"
"Born On The Outs"
"Organic Organic Organic (Go Fuck Yourself)"
"Faceless Corporate Violence"
"Jackals Can't Be Bothered To Dream"

Refused are fucking alive, but they’re still fucking mysterious. I’ll never forget that late Sunday night in winter 1999 when I saw the premiere of “New Noise” on MTV’s 120 Minutes. (Back then that show was the way to find out about cool bands before everyone else.) My father, who … Read more
