Swedish-Norwegian rap-metal pioneers CLAWFINGER have unleashed the official music video for 'Before We All Die', the title track of their new album.

Released on February 20 via Perception Records, the album marks CLAWFINGER's first studio album in 19 years.

The band's trademark fusion of sharp rap delivery, heavy grooves and biting social commentary is now more relevant than ever.

Zak Tell and his cohorts have been busy this summer writing and recording new material, including 'Before We All Die'.

In a recent interview with Seb Di Gatto of The Metal Gods Meltdown, the band's frontman discussed the time gap between their last two albums, citing financial struggles after their touring days came to an end in 2008.

'We made a living off CLAWFINGER from '13 onwards,' Tell recalled.

However, once they stopped playing shows regularly, the band members had to find other jobs and start families, leading to a seven-year hiatus before they started writing new music again in 2013.

The band released several singles during this time, including 'Save Our Souls' in 2017 and 'Environmental Patients' in 2022.

CLAWFINGER's debut album, 'Deaf Dumb Blind', was released in 1993 to critical acclaim, selling over 600,000 copies worldwide.

Their follow-up album, 'Use Your Brain', continued their success with chart placements across Europe and sold over a million records worldwide.

The band has been an outspoken voice on social issues since their inception, addressing topics such as racism, environmental destruction, and social inequality through their music.
