Clawfinger

New Album "Before We All Die" (after 19 years!!) out now - Why not have a listen? Loud, furious, darkly humorous and brutally honest, it's everything you forgot you needed — and exactly what you'd expect from a band that never cared much for subtlety. See CLAWFINGER live on their EU-Tour in autumn 2026. CLAWFINGER are considered pioneers of European rap-metal. Formed in Stockholm in the early 1990s, the Swedish-Norwegian band made an explosive debut with “Deaf Dumb Blind” (1993), blending aggressive guitar riffs with politically charged lyrics and rap vocals. The album sold over 600,000 copies worldwide – more than 250,000 in Germany alone – and won a Swedish Grammis award in the hardrock/metal category. CLAWFINGER’s follow-up “Use Your Brain” [1995] continued their success with chart placements across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Sweden. Over the years, they released seven studio albums including “A Whole Lot Of Nothing,” “Zeros & Heroes,” “Hate Yourself With Style,” and “Life Will Kill You,” selling over 1.5 million records worldwide. Known for their direct, riff-driven sound and strong political stance, CLAWFINGER address topics such as racism, political delusion, drug policy, environmental destruction, and social inequality. In the 1990s, they toured intensively with acts like ALICE IN CHAINS, MEGADETH and FAITH NO MORE and appeared at major festivals including Rock am Ring, Roskilde, and Monsters of Rock in South America.
