Do you remember Clawfinger?
The band that helped shape crossover metal back in the last millennium, leaving a lasting impact on heavy music and influencing bands such as Korn with their raw, outspoken sound.
Now, Clawfinger are back — and they are anything but quiet.
After an 18-year break between studio albums, the Swedish pioneers will release a brand-new album on February 20, 2026. We’ve already had the chance to listen to it, and one thing is clear: this record has real substance. Lyrically sharp, musically confident, and unmistakably Clawfinger.
As a first taste, the band dropped their new single “Going Down (Titanic)” last Friday. The track perfectly represents what Clawfinger stand for in 2026: bold statements, critical perspectives, and a sound that refuses to stand still. It’s challenging in the best possible way — and for listeners who are open-minded musically, this new era of Clawfinger is highly rewarding.
This is not a nostalgia act.
Clawfinger sound alert, relevant, and unapologetically direct.
In short: if you’re musically open, Clawfinger in 2026 will be right up your alley.
Highly recommended listening:
To complete their return, Clawfinger will also be heading out on tour, bringing their new material to the stage and proving once again why their voice still matters — loud, intense, and very much alive.
Clawfinger are back. And they still hit hard.
