Deaf Dumb Blind is the debut studio album by Swedish rap metal band Clawfinger, released on 21 April 1993. Produced by the band and Jacob Hellner, the album sold over 600,000 copies worldwide and was critically acclaimed by the Swedish press. The band won a Swedish Grammy Award in the Hard Rock/Metal of the Year category in 1994 for the album. Deaf Dumb Blind spawned four singles, including the successful single "Nigger", a controversial anti-racist statement.
The album contains ten standard tracks; three bonus tracks were added to the re-release in 2004. Clawfinger also released four singles ("Nigger", "The Truth", "Rosegrove" and "Warfair") and three music videos ("Nigger", "The Truth" and "Warfair").
The lyrics of "Catch Me" are translated from the Asta Kask song "Dom Får Aldrig Mig".
