Don't miss the debut of Clutch's new video for "Electric Worry" on this weekend's "Headbangers Ball."
The band filmed the clip earlier this year at the historic Maryland Theatre in Hagerstown, Maryland. The track comes from the band's new album From Beale Street to Oblivion, which came out March 27 and entered the Billboard album chart at #52, the highest-ever debut for the eclectic metal veterans.
The disc was produced by Joe Barresi and is full of stoner metal riffs, southern rock licks, blues metal rhythms and straight out rock jams.
"This is probably the most 'live' album we have recorded," said frontman Neil Fallon on the band's Web site. "We went out for a few weeks, and played the music on the road. So, when we went into the studio, all of us knew exactly what was going to happen — a first for Clutch. I don't know why we haven't done it this way all along; it's so much easier."
The band also recorded the basic tracks directly to tape, a technique they haven't used since their 1998 album, The Elephant Riders. "There's nothing digital on there at all," Fallon says. "And this record has a few more bluesy elements than has been the case in the past, but nothing so blatant that it could be called alien to what we do. Musically, we've become much more of a rock 'n' roll band now, as opposed to being metal or hardcore. "Our style is riff-oriented, with a swing."
Clutch return from their current European tour following a show in Copenhagen, Denmark on April 29. They begin their next U.S. tour on May 11 in Washington, D.C. Dates are scheduled through June 17 in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
