Clutch Announces New Album Wasted Lands and Tour Dates

Clutch has announced that their 14th studio album, Wasted Lands, will be released on January 22 through their own record label, Weathermaker Music. This upcoming album reunites Clutch with producer Machine for the first time since the release of their 2015 album, Psychic Warfare. On the track Beware The Fever, a banjo is included on a Clutch album for the first time, featuring a demo recording played by Neil Fallon.

The band was originally formed in 1991 in the D.C. suburbs by members Neil Fallon, Jean-Paul Gaster, Dan Maines, and Tim Sult. In 2008, Clutch founded their own record label named Weathermaker Music in order to keep full control over their album work. The new album Wasted Lands will be made available through this label on January 22.

In addition to the album announcement, Clutch will be going on a tour across the United States in the fall with support from Slomosa and Blood Vulture. Following those dates, the group will tour Australia in early 2027 with support from Corrosion of Conformity, marking the band's first tour in Australia in nearly a decade.
