Loud, angry, dark, humorous and brutally honest - CLAWFINGER return to German stages in 2026 with their Before We All Die Tour. The Scandinavian crossover pioneers will present themselves in their distinctive form and deliver the uncompromising energy that has shaped their international status. The tour, which will take the band to six German cities from October 22, 2026, combines the essence of CLAWFINGER: hard riffs, a clear political stance and an intensity that is ideal as a tour profile for the website.
Since the early 1990s, CLAWFINGER have been one of the most influential bands in the European alternative metal and crossover segment. With albums such as Deaf Dumb Blind, Use Your Brain and A Whole Lot of Nothing, they have shaped an unmistakable style of brute rhythm, industrial influences and socio-critical themes. Known for their direct, riff-driven sound and clear political stance, CLAWFINGER address racism, political madness, drug policy, environmental destruction and social inequality - a trademark that still characterizes the band today and has earned them a worldwide fan base.
The upcoming tour will focus on the uncompromising attitude that CLAWFINGER have always stood for. It's not about finding peace, explains singer Zak Tell. It's about speaking the truth - even when it's ugly. Especially then. The band continues to tackle issues such as political hypocrisy, social inequality, environmental destruction and social self-deception. A new album is currently unconfirmed, but the creative momentum points to a continuation of their characteristically edgy approach. Commenting on the live intensity, Zak Tell adds: "The gigs are where the magic really happens. Our job is to make the distance between us and the audience disappear, create the best possible atmosphere and send everyone home at the end with sweaty faces and a good feeling.
