From The Shape of Punk to Come (1998). 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 27 October 1998 through Burning Heart Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Refused's other songs from The Shape of Punk to Come, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
