When Clutch began pre-production for their new album earlier in the year, it looked like their next effort was right around the corner. This is sadly not the case though as fans will have to wait until late 2015 to hear it. As Fallon told Lithiummagazine.com, “we’re going to be recording a new record at the top of the year and having that come out at the end of 2015.”
Fallon went on to say that a number of tracks were recorded during those aforementioned initial pre-production sessions with producer Machine (Lamb Of God), though he doesn’t expect all of them to make the final cut. He also said that the band is not ruling out playing some some 20th anniversary shows for their 1995 self-titled album next year, though nothing is planned as of yet.
Further elaborating on their upcoming plans, he stated:
“We’ll take October, November and December off to finish up writing and pre-production. And then we’ll do a run from Christmas to New Year’s to mid-January out to Texas, where we plan to record it. And then we’ll record in January and February, and probably the beginning of March; take a little bit of time off, and back out on the road.”
