CLAWFINGER launched next new song – “Big brother”

Swedish-Norwegian rap-metal trailblazers Clawfinger are back with another explosive taste of their long-awaited comeback album “Before We All Die”, their first studio offering in 18 long years! The new single “Big Brother” arrives with a razor-edged video clip and all the pent-up fury you’d expect from a band that helped define the crossover sound of the ’90s.

The first album appetizer “Scum” followed by “Ball & Chain” have already racked up thousands of plays and reactions across digital platforms, hitting with the force of a small online detonation and proving that Clawfinger’s return is striking a nerve and Zeitgeist. Even with a recent live performance of their hit “Biggest & Best” going viral on Instagram, or Zak performing “The Truth” in a hilarious karaoke video, Clawfinger are being rediscovered by a new generation of metal fans, showing that their music remains as powerful and relevant as ever, nearly two decades after their last album.

The new track “Big Brother” hits like a steel-toed boot to the chest. Mechanical, grinding riffs, an industrial undercurrent that pulses like a surveillance camera’s hum, and Zak Tell delivering one of his most acerbic vocal performances to date: half-rapped, half-snarled, always unmistakably Clawfinger. Sonically, “Big Brother” feels like a bridge between the band’s classic Use Your Brain ferocity and a darker, more claustrophobic modern edge.

Lyrically, Tell digs deep into the rot of attention-driven culture: “Big Brother is an idea I wrote back in 2007 but it never turned into a finished song. It’s about how we trade authenticity and privacy for approval. Fake lives lived on camera, zero substance, 15 seconds of fame and nothing good to say. We binge mindless content, go numb, and don’t even question constant surveillance. We’ve learned to love being tracked, controlled, and fed nonsense 24/7, we don’t think even think about it. Who the fuck are we?”
