In a recent interview with Poland's MetalSide, vocalist Zak Tell of the Swedish rap-metal combo CLAWFINGER discussed the lyrical inspiration behind their new single "Scum".

The track is a clear jab at U.S.

president Donald Trump, with lyrics like "a bad taste in my mouth, a sore sight for my eyes a foul stench in the air, a nasty vibe in the house a bad excuse for a man, a dark time for the earth" and "another pussy to grab, yes that's what you said, a small cock in your pants, no brain in your head".

When asked if former U.S.

president George W.

Bush looked like an angel compared to Trump, Tell responded, "Yeah, maybe.

Or maybe it's just that some of them are a bit smarter about their corruptness and their morals." He continued, "But to answer your question, yes, I guess so.

At the same time, I think anyone so high up in those power positions is probably hiding a lot more than any of us know about, and there is probably a lot of bad things going on." The interview touched on CLAWFINGER's latest album, "Before We All Die", which dropped in February via Perception.

The album marks the band's first studio release in 19 years, capturing their trademark fusion of sharp rap delivery, heavy grooves, and biting social commentary.

CLAWFINGER are considered pioneers of European rap-metal and have sold over 1.5 million records worldwide throughout their career.
