Swedish rap metal band Clawfinger have delivered their new single “Scum” today.
The track, which takes aim at convicted felon Donald Trump, is the first single from the band since 2022’s “Environmental Patients.” An accompanying music video, which was directed by Rune Foss, can be seen here.
Vocalist Zak Tell said this about the song:
“‘Scum’ is a raw, loud, and brutally honest punk rap anthem that goes straight for the throat. It’s aimed at the kind of guy who’s selfish, sexist, full of himself and somehow still talking. With sharp lyrics and a beat that hits like a punch, ‘Scum’ says what we’re all thinking about that one guy we all wish would just vanish from the face of the earth. It’s angry and it’s dark. If you’ve ever wanted to spit in someone’s face but lacked the upper-body strength or social permission, this song’s for you.”
Clawfinger will perform at a slew of festivals across Europe this summer, including appearances at the sold-out Rockharz Open Air and Wacken Open Air. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
