Official press release:
Before We All Die, Clawfinger’s first studio album in 18 years, arrives February 20, 2026 on Perception. 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. Singer Zak Tell says:
“This isn’t about finding peace. It’s about telling the truth — even when it’s ugly. Especially then.”
From environmental collapse to political hypocrisy, personal disillusionment to collective denial, this is Clawfinger at full volume — still pissed off, still sharp as ever, and still refusing to shut up while the world pretends it’s all fine.
Already released, the single “Scum” sets the tone: zero tolerance for corrupt leadership, fake morality, or the rising tide of right-wing garbage. It’s not a love song — unless you really love rage and distortion. The band adds:
“This album is part protest, part therapy, and part middle finger. We’re not offering solutions. We’re screaming because silence is surrender”
