CLUTCH name their 11th album
20 May 2015CLUTCH have revealed the name of their 11th album and seven of its tracks. Frontman Neil Fallon has confirmed to TeamRock that the follow-up to 2013's Earth Rocker is entitled Psychic Warfare, and it's due in September.
The band debuted some of their latest songs at a showcase gig in D'Angelico Guitars in New York this week.
Fallon tells Alexander Milas on TeamRock Radio's Metal Hammer Magazine Show: "'Psychic warfare' is a lyric from the first track, X-Ray Visions. It's about a guy holed up in a motel for unexplained reasons, and he's under great duress, being attacked by psychically-empowered agents of unknown origin. At least, that's the back story I have in my head."
He says the concept is influenced by SF author Philip K Dick. "His general philosophy and questions have always crept into my lyrics, because I share an interest in it," he adds. "On Earth Rocker, Crucial Velocity was definitely a Philip K Dick song for me. On this record, X-Ray Visions certainly is."
Fallon also found inspiration from their secluded studio location, leading to the lyrics for Quick Death In Texas. He explains: "I was staying in a kind of unique, maybe 100-year-old property, by myself. I got spooked out because I come from the east coast and the suburbs and I was out in the woods. That was the environment that brought out Quick Death In Texas – and the locals."
The new tracks played at the showcase were X-Ray Visions, Firebird, Quick Death In Texas, Our Lady Of Electric Lights, Monsters, Decapitation Blues and Son Of Virginia.
