KLAW is a thrash metal force of nature from Switzerland!
Following the success of their album “Gods and Creators,” the band has quickly released an EP
 entitled “KLAWstrophy…the B-sides of Gods and Creators,” rounding off the creative process.
The new single “Dead Eyes” is a labor of love.

Guitarist Pat Müller: “Dead Eyes is a song about dementia – a condition that deeply frightens me as a person. The slowly creeping loss of everything that makes a person who they are, taking away everything they have worked for their entire life. Especially the stage in which the person is still aware of the change, knowing that it is irreversible, is terrifying to me.”

About the song itself: “With Dead Eyes, our goal was to push the boundaries of Thrash Metal while remaining true to our musical roots.”

KLAW release cover & tracklist for their upcoming EP “KLAWstrophy…the B-sides of Gods and Creators,” concluding the “Gods and Creators” cycle with a new EP.

Following the successful release of their album “Gods and Creators” on the El Puerto Records label last year, Swiss thrash metal band KLAW has announced a new EP for March 2026: “KLAWstrophy…the B-sides of Gods and Creators.” The tracks on the upcoming release are taken from the intense recording sessions for the LP. It quickly became clear to the band that these songs are more than just “leftovers”: they form the final piece of the puzzle of a creative peak. During mastering at V.O. Pulver’s Little Creek Studio at the end of 2025, the tracks were given another once-over. The result is an even fresher and more natural-sounding production. Musically, KLAW remain true to themselves and deliver technical thrash metal with the characteristic Bay Area influences that have already earned the band excellent reviews in the trade press (including Rock Hard and Metal Factory). However, the EP shows the five musicians from an even more direct and focused side. “The songs breathe the same DNA as the album, but have their own raw energy. We didn’t want to leave this part of our history in the archives, but make it accessible to fans as the conclusion of this chapter,” says the band. With their release in March 2026, KLAW cement their status as one of Switzerland’s most technically precise metal greats and send a clear signal for the coming year.

“Gods And Creators” is available here: save-it.cc/epr/gods-and-creators

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.

“Gods And Creators” tracklist:

2. Press Start
3. Gods And Creators
4. Carousel Of Flames
5. Swell
6. Pictures Of My Past
7. Senseless

10. Curse Of The Blessed
11. Stay Sit Roll Fetch
12. Alcoholic

The band says about the new album: “Gods And Creators” is the result of many years of collaboration between the new line-up of KLAW. 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.

Crossfire: For fans of hard thrash metal, there’s a real treat here 9/10

Thrash metal fans, pay attention. February 7, 2025 is the day. That is the day when “Gods And Creators”, the new album by the Swiss band KLAW, will be released. The brand new work, produced by V.O. Pulver and the band themselves in the Little Creek Studios, will be released via El Puerto Records. KLAW is currently presenting us with a great playthrough video of the track “Carousel Of Flames”, which can already be seen and heard in its album version.

Guitarist Pat on the music: “Carousel of Flames” was written just before the studio recordings and it is the only song that had never been played together within the band before. My basic idea was to write a catchy, simply structured track alongside the otherwise rather complex songs. A good melody in the chorus, a pumping straight forward verse riff, held together by a Swedish metal riff. The formula “less is sometimes more” worked and the song quickly developed into one of the most popular tracks within the band.

Singer Jonas on the lyrics: The soul of a child… So pure, so naive, so fragile…The song addresses the impressionability of children and the danger that arises from this.

Technically sophisticated, melodic, with groove, tempo, fat riffs and aggressive vocals – that’s what KLAW stands for with their new album “Gods And Creators”.

Guitarist Chasper says about the track: For me, “Press Start” was like creating a “melodic Slayer track.” My songwriting typically features switches between double-time and half-time, various key changes, and twin lead sections between the solos.

Singer Jonas comments on the lyrics:”Press Start” tells a story about a young boy left by his father… He grows up scared by the fact that his father never wanted to know him… In the end as an adult he becomes just like his father, leaving his sick wife and his child behind. It‘s about the question if children are meant to grow up becoming their parents and the fact, that children who are raised by a parent that has suffered from trauma have a much higher chance to also suffer from trauma often even directly because of this parent.
