Well, we won't, and i feel the need to elucidate."
"We only broke up once and it was involuntary. Most of you might not remember but at the end of our reunion year 2012 we kept things ambigious in our final statement: "The hatchet is buried ... we're going home", for plausible deniability, because we weren't sure our attempt at a permanent reunion would fly.

Refused will end their career with eight final shows in Sweden, concluding with a hometown concert in Umeå on December 21. The run follows a fall tour of the UK and Europe and three South American shows. Each Swedish gig will feature different opening acts, including Youth Code. Drummer David Sandström posted on Instagram explaining that band tensions—especially the strain on his friendship with singer Dennis Lyxzén—and the emergence of a new, internal musical project prompted the decision. Members Mattias, Magnus, Dennis and David plan to explore a new band without the baggage of Refused.
