The Condemned live Longer!
CLAWFINGER are back with their sensational new album "Hate Yourself With Style". Only two years after the last output "Zeros & Heroes" the Swedish guys have pooled all their strengths to show the world how fresh and inventive crossover music can sound in the year 2005. Eleven Songs, eleven Hits - somewhere between new, unused aggression, well-tried quality, great chorus lines and tons of witty ideas. Just listen to the crushing opener "The Faggot In You", which sounds like a light version of some MESHUGGAH classics or the catchy title track with it's impulsive dynamics. You'll be surprised and more than satisfied. CLAWFINGER have still a lot to say - and you'd better listen well!
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 success. The second album "Use Your Brain" (1995) convinced due to 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 legendary third album, which, again, pleased all fans with typical CLAWFINGER songs. After a long break, CLAWFINGER striked 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 new album "Hate Yourself With Style", which will finally see the light in November 2005. The past is the past but the future is now - and the band shows this with new ideas which make "Hate Yourself With Style" so exciting and fascinating.
If you weren't into CLAWFINGER, then you'll be with them as from now. If you always liked CLAWFINGER, you will love them now. And if you loved CLAWFINGER, you'll crack up, if you hear "Hate Yourself With Style".
Go Hate Yourself!
