Background notes
Archive material and source history
Claws formed in the late 1990s with Mortician on vocals, Ghastly on guitar, Corpsegrinder on bass, and Tombstone on drums. Their debut album 'Abominations That Crawl Forth' came out in 2002, and its graphic lyrics and relentless sound drew both criticism and a dedicated following. The band's lineup has shifted over time, with Mortician staying through those changes.
Their music pulls from black metal, death metal, and industrial elements, creating a dense, unsettling atmosphere. Songs like 'Bloodsucking Sorcery' and 'Cacophonous Carrion' from their catalog show that approach. They've released several albums since that debut, including 'Sermons of the Damned' in 2005 and 'The Divinity of Suffering' in 2008.
Claws has faced various controversies around their lyrical content and imagery, with some critics calling it misogynistic or nihilistic. That hasn't slowed their output though, they put out 'The Abyss' in 2020, and tracks like 'Lurking In The Catacombs' and 'Macabre Manifestations' continue in that vein. They've built a cult audience in extreme metal circles without softening their sound.
