Clutch have a handful of new songs written for their next album with drummer Jean-Paul Gaster recently telling Metal Wani over the weekend:
“We took a good bit of time off. We were off for nearly four months, and so for us, that’s quite a long time; we hadn’t taken that much time off in… I don’t remember how long. So we spent a good portion of that writing new songs, working out in the jam room, working on new arrangements, working on concepts. And at this point, we have a handful of tunes that have vocal ideas. We’ve been putting them into the set. We’ll play one tonight; the one we’re doing tonight is called ‘How To Shake Hands‘.”
Tentative plans have the band in the studio later this year to record the effort. As he mentioned above, the band have been roadtesting new material live. Fan-filmed footage of one such new song can be found below. This summer will find both Clutch and Primus teaming up for this U.S. tour.
