Rap metal group Clawfinger have unveiled their new single “Going Down (Like Titanic)” today.
Vocalist Zak Tell said this about the new song, which can be heard here:
"This started off as a silly braggadocious rap lyric, simply because that’s what the beat was telling me to do. It wasn’t very well thought out at all, just threading together cool words that rhymed. I guess in some ways it was about a Clawfinger comeback without me really even thinking about it, not that we’ve really been gone but it’s been a while since we released anything. I guess the question the lyric ended up asking was: What are we really coming back to, we may be awesome and all that but everything is still completely messed up. We can brag and boast but we’re still arrogant idiots heading towards a total collapse of the world as we know it.
The Titanic chorus idea came from Jocke, I’m not even sure he realized what a great metaphor it was for the lyric? We’re talking about a massive ship that they said was unsinkable... that sank. Rich people partying onboard, enjoying the luxury at the top, while the less fortunate working class were stuck down below, everyone headed straight for disaster without having a clue. Does that sound familiar?"
“Going Down (Like Titanic)” stems from Clawfinger’s forthcoming studio album Before We All Die, which will be released on February 20 via Perception. Pre-orders and pre-saves can be made here.
Clawfinger will have a slew of performances across Europe in the following months. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
