• Clutch Discuss New Album

  Clutch have announced that their next livestream on their YouTube page is set for September 17, one day after the release of their new album Sunrise on Slaughter Beach.

  Early reports are that the 9-song album clocks in at just over half-an-hour and, according to singer Neil Fallon, was an odd record for the band to make. “There’s a lot of instrumentation that is atypical of Clutch, like for example vibraphones, theremins, and backup vocals,” said Fallon and, when asked about the short running time, responded, “we recorded more songs, but we just thought we wanted to make something that was just right to the point where every song kind of represented a different flavor.”
