Frogtoon Music Album Info: The Shape Of Punk To Come

The Shape Of Punk To Come A Chimerical Bombination In 12 Bursts Often Shortened To The Shape Of Punk To Come Is The Third Album By Swedish Hardcore Punk Band Refused Released On October 27 1998 Through Burning Heart Records. Although Refused Broke Up Only Months After The Album's Release The Shape Of Punk To Come Has Since Found An Audience For The Band And Largely Contributed To Their Posthumous Fame As Well As Inspiring Many Later Artists In A Wide Range Of Genres. Kerrang! Magazine Listed The Shape Of Punk To Come At #13 On Their 50 Most Influential Albums Of All Time List In 2003. Overview
This Album Marked A Sharp And Conscious Departure From Refused's Earlier Work. The Philosophy Of The Album Expounded In The Ample Liner Notes And Encapsulated In The Song "New Noise" Was That Punk And Hardcore Music Could Not Be Anti-Establishment By Continuing To Package Revolutionary Lyrics In Sounds Which Had Been Increasingly Co-Opted Into The Mainstream. The Sound Of The Record Challenged Existing Punk Sensibilities It Can Be Seen As "punk" At A Fundamental Level And Includes Experimental Combinations Of Post-Hardcore Post-Punk Techno And Jazz Sounds. The Album Also Includes "political Interludes" Between Some Songs. The Use Of More Technological Sounds Or Drum And Bass Music Particularly On The New Noise Theology EP Which Followed The Album Is A Tactic That Various Members Of Refused Have Credited To The Influence Of Philadelphia Punk Band Ink & Dagger. Recording
In 2006 Producer Pelle Henricsson Said Of The Recording We Did Not Use Pro Tools At All. The Shape Was Recorded On 24 Track 2 Inch Tape And Occasional Adats In Sync When The 24 Tracks Wasn't Enough. The Drums Were Recorded As Grooves And Then Edited In Soundscape Without Any Grid Reference. The Whole Thing Was Then Bounced Back To 2 Inch Where All Guitars And Basses Were Recorded. Same Thing With Vocals But Not "every Word" Moved Around. More Like Keeping Phrases That Were Within The Groove. The Soundscape System We Used Back Then Held 12 Tracks And Was Used As A Stand Alone Editing Unit. Overall The Whole Recording Had Groove As THE Key Word Maybe That's Why It's Still A Cool Record!? The Album's Production Has Inspired Other Artists To Work With Pelle Henricsson And Eskil Lövström Including Poison The Well And Hell Is For Heroes.
