Refused’s Dennis Lyxzén Talks War Music, Anti-Capitalism, and More

Swedish hardcore heroes Refused released their latest album, War Music, last fall. As they’ve done throughout their career, the radical rockers preach socialism, anti-capitalism, and more throughout the LP’s 10 songs. Prior to Refused’s show in Brooklyn in February, we caught up with frontman Dennis Lyxzén backstage to the discuss the band’s longtime focus on sociopolitical issues. We also chatted about War Music, specifically touching on the songs “Blood Red”, “Violent Reaction”, and “Economy of Death”.
