Less than two years after their last album “Hate Yourself With
Style”, the Swedish Crossover legends CLAWFINGER are
returning with their new album “Life Will Kill You”. Again, the band
have managed to deliver high quality songs with catchy choruses
and killer hooks. To be honest: “Life Will Kill You” is probably their
best album since the sensational debut “Deaf Dumb Blind”
released back in 1993. Listen to the aggressive opener “The
Price You Pay”, the sing-along hymn “Life Will Kill You” and
“Where Can We Go From Here” and you will find your favourite
CLAWFINGER songs since “Nigger”, “Tomorrow”, “Do What I
Say” and “The Biggest And The Best”!
Never change a winning team: Once again the album was
produced by the band itself in their own Fear And Loathing-
Studios in Spånga (Sweden), a studio they run together with their
good friends MESHUGGAH.
The band was formed back in 1988. The music fanatics Zak Tell
and Jocke Skog worked in the same hospital – CLAWFINGER
were born. In 1993 the legendary debut "Deaf Dumb Blind" was
released. The album sold more than 600,000 copies world wide
and the song "Nigger" became a big hit. The second album "Use
Your Brain" (1995) included hits like "Do What I Say" and "Pin Me
Down" and solidified the status of CLAWFINGER in the scene.
1997 saw the birth of "Clawfinger", the third album, which, again,
pleased all fans with typical CLAWFINGER songs. After a long
break, CLAWFINGER came back with "A Whole Lot Of Nothing"
(2001) and "Zeros And Heroes" (2003). In 2005 CLAWFINGER
signed a deal with Nuclear Blast and worked hard on their album
"Hate Yourself With Style", which turned out to be their heaviest
and most furious album up to date.
If you weren't into CLAWFINGER, then you’ll be with them from
now on. If you always liked CLAWFINGER, you will love them
now. And if you loved CLAWFINGER, you’ll crack up!
