Clawfinger (SE)

About

Clawfinger are widely considered pioneers of rap metal, a tag they earned after breaking through internationally with their 1993 debut album Deaf Dumb Blind. Formed in Stockholm, the Swedish band built their sound around aggressive, melodic, and groovy riffs paired with lyrics that dig into politics, racism, and war. Seven studio albums and over 1.5 million records sold later, they remain one of the genre's defining acts.
