Chasper on the music for “Swell”: With “Swell” I tried to break new ground rhythmically and harmonically. Sometimes very dark, with dense harmonic carpets, and alternating dragging and rolling riffs.

Jonas about the text: A trip into the head of an overthinker…conversations in the head that never took place and never will take place…What would have happened if? What would have happened if? Questions that can only be answered with further questions and lead to nothing but sleepless nights.

With the line-up changes on vocals and guitar, 11 songs have materialized in a forge of various influences from the five members… a new chapter in the history of KLAW: “Gods and Creators!”

Bay Area meets Alpenland – The Swiss KLAW have sharpened their claws and deliver a whole dozen timeless hymns on their second album, which were forged in the Little Creek Studio and which have what it takes to absolutely enrich the new generation of thrash metal albums.
