993.0. "Clawfinger" by GYDMO::PSCHRODER () Thu Jan 27 1994 01:42

    
    Yesterday I wrote my note about the great soundtrack JUDGEMENT NIGHT ,
    now here's another fine part of the same line ....
    
    Shortly before Xmas I bought the debut album of a band called
    
    			CLAWFINGER
    
    A label on the cover said it's been the Metal Hammer CD of 9/93 or so .
    I only knew one song before I bought the CD (called "Nigger" , despite
    of the title a anti-racist song) . The band is swedish , as far I can
    guess by their names , but they use wonderful heavy guitars and rap
    vocals . After enjoying the whole CD I think it deserves the award of
    metal hammer quite well .
    
    Let me know about your opinions !                     Peter
    
    ps : I just recorded a sampler tape for use in my car stereo . It
    contains much of the Judgement Night/BodyCount/Helmet/Therapy? 
    /Ministry/Blue Manner Haze etc. stuff . The only problem is the
    excessive headbanging while driving ....

	I heard them first about a year ago.
	They sound rather like Faith_No_More, and that's cool.

    I saw them support Anthrax on the last UK tour and they were ok.I
    thought at one point one of the guitarists was going to start a fight
    with the back up singer/rapper/keyboard player but it wasn't to be.They
    were quite unorganised and amatuerish but ok.The look singer is a
    skinny bampot!

993.3the truth, motherf*ckerJGO::NIEMANTSWed Mar 09 1994 13:263
    Their last single called "THE TRUTH" is great and I'm going to see them
    29 march in Nijmegen, Holland.

..the truth is that Clawfinger (2 swedes and two nerds from Norway) are pretty
lame. They have gotten a lot of attention here in Sweden but they sound mostly
like 3:rd rate FNM/Ministry/Rage Against The MAchine rip-offs. And to top it 
they look like a bunch of misfits (all decked out in last years grunge gear!).

If you want the real killer metal/death from Sweden check out At The Gates, a
truly awesome 5 piece from Gothenburg. They have a new CD, "With Fear I kiss the
Burning Darkness" out and they KICK ASS!!!
