Vocalist Zak Tell has posted the following message on CLAWFINGER's official web site:

“Apart from me meeting up with Jocke [Skog, keyboards] to participate in the control arms manifestation [a political protest] and being in the studio two days ago just to remember what it's like, well, everything is simply about family! We know we have two and a half hectic weeks in France coming up very shortly, and then more dates in May, so basically everybody is busy doing nothing or stuff that is not related much to CLAWFINGER! Well, actually Jocke is in the studio most of the time twisting knobs and drinking coffee so that's not totally true, but what I'm trying to say is that we're not in the creative writing mode right now! Somewhere in the back of our heads, however, I think we are starting to play around with the idea of making some new trax, it's just a question of putting those ideas together in our heads in a focused enough way to make something more out of it and actually get them down on hard drive. We have been talking about which direction we would like to go with the new stuff and I get the feeling that it will be slightly different from the Hate Yourself With Style album. That said I still don't really know which direction it will go, I just get the feeling it will lead elsewhere. Your guess is as good as ours and the only info I can give you is that we want to mash things up even more, pick bits and pieces from all over the place and cross over a bunch of different influences!”

CLAWFINGER's Hate Yourself with Style – described as “Meshuggah meets Rollins Band” by Aberdeen Washington's Daily World newspaper – was released in North America on February 7th.
