Clutch have confirmed that they’ll once again be working with producer Machine (Lamb Of God, Eighteen Visions) on their fourteenth studio album. Machine has previously overseen the sessions for some of the blues rock outfit’s most well-received releases, including “Blast Tyrant“, “Earth Rocker” and “Psychic Warfare“.
According to the band’s vocalist/guitarist Neil Fallon, pre-production sessions are due to fire up soon. Fallon told ‘That Fuzzing Rock Show‘, that the band are “currently working on the next record… Actually, we’re gonna start our very first pre-production week this coming Monday with Machine.”
As they’ve been known to do, Fallon also speculated that the band will likely be testing out some of this new material on the road before actually laying it down in the studio. They’ve got a busy year ahead of them on that front, with the following shows lined up.
