Lots of news on the Clutch front today with the band having debuted the below music video for their track “The Wolfman Kindly Requests…“. The claymation clip was put together independently by a fan named Curtis Hein and got approval from the band themselves. The video will also be featured on an upcoming deluxe version of the bands latest album “Earth Rocker” that is due for a June 10th release through Weathermaker Music.
That new version of the album will feature the two previously-unreleased tracks “Night Hag” and “Scavengers“—both of which were recorded during the albums original sessions with producer Machine (Lamb Of God, Every Time I Die).
A second disc will feature the live material previously only available on the double vinyl picture disc of the set. Also included is a DVD titled “Live In Denver“, which was captured at a November 13th, 2013 set at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, CO. Seven cameras were used to capture the band in 1080i during the set.
Also present on the DVD are the bands music videos for “Gone Cold” and “Crucial Velocity“, both filmed and directed by Aisha Tyler of “Archer“, etc. fame, plus the above-mentioned music video. Re-worked artwork done by the bands long-running art director Nick Lakiotis will complete the set.
Clutch‘s 2005 album “Robot Hive/Exodus” will also be getting a collector’s edition double vinyl release on June 10th. The remastered set will arrive in a re-designed gatefold package.
See below for footage of “D.C. Sound Attack!” from the “Live In Denver” DVD mentioned above. Pre-orders for the deluxe version of “Earth Rocker” are now available at Clutchmerch.com. Meanwhile, the group also recently began pre-production on a new album.
