The Shape Of Punk To Come, reimagined

The Shape Of Punk To Come is the self-predicting iconic hardcore punk album by Swedish group Refused, released through Burning Heart Records in 1998 and reissued by Epitaph. Though it initially was a critical failure, TSOPTC has since been revered by many of the same publications and people who faulted it for being too avant-garde for punk music. Reimagined ahead of its 25th anniversary, this experimental variant incorporates whirling serpents, blossoming floral arrangements and a palette carefully imagined after Umeå's spring.
