For over 30 years, Clawfinger have been part of the top tier of the international crossover scene. With their hits, they shaped the genre like hardly any other band. On Halloween Saturday, the Swedish-Norwegian pioneers return to our concert factory with their new studio album Before We All Die and a wealth of classics from their long career. <\/b><\/p>\n
Clawfinger burst onto the international music scene with a loud bang in 1993. Their debut album Deaf Dumb Blind, featuring tracks like \u201cNigger\u201d, \u201cThe Truth\u201d and \u201cWarfair\u201d, became a global success and is still regarded as a groundbreaking milestone today. With their mix of metal, rap and electronic elements, Clawfinger didn\u2019t just create a new musical style \u2013 they also tackled pressing social issues head-on, without sugarcoating anything. In doing so, they managed to speak directly to the soul of an entire generation. Today, this hard-hitting crossover hit machine enjoys true cult status. Their last album Life Will Kill You was released 18 years ago, but now there is finally new material: Before We All Die (release date: 20 February 2026) is the title of the new studio album. Frontman Zak Tell once again delivers brutally direct lyrics: \u201cThis is not about peace. This is about spreading the truth, no matter how horrible it may be. And that\u2019s exactly why we do it.\u201d On Before We All Die, Clawfinger address topics such as environmental destruction, political hypocrisy and personal disillusionment, all the way to collective denial. \u201cThis album is one third protest, one third therapy and one third middle finger,\u201d he adds. \u201cUnfortunately, we can\u2019t just pull solutions out of a hat, but at least we resist \u2013 because staying silent would mean the end for all of us.\u201d The first single \u201cScum\u201d makes their direction unmistakably clear. The band takes aim at corrupt leaders, fake morality and the growing crowd driven by right-wing ideology. Zak explains: \u201c\u2018Scum\u2019 is a raw, loud and brutally honest punk-rap track that hits you straight in the face. It\u2019s aimed at guys who are selfish, sexist and self-obsessed and just won\u2019t shut up. With razor-sharp lyrics and a beat like a punch in the face, \u2018Scum\u2019 says exactly what we think about these people, who would be better off just disappearing. The song is immensely angry, dark and direct. If you\u2019ve ever wanted to spit in someone\u2019s face but lacked the courage \u2013 or social etiquette wouldn\u2019t allow it \u2013 then this track is made for you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
