Just waiting now for the tour, because although it took them years to step foot on Australian shores they sure did realise just how loved they are over here.
I haven't heard the new album but Clutch are one amazing band (I've been fortunate enough to see them live four times). Hopefully the new album will mean a new tour.
Its a shame that they aren't recognized more because they are a truly fantastic band...I've played 'The Elephant Riders' to death over the years, its that bloody good. Not to mention their other releases..
I first was exposed to Clutch in 2004 when a mate of mine gave me a copy of Blast Tyrant - it's an amazing album I also love From Beale Street To Oblivion, Robot Hive/Exodus, Transnational Speedway League: Anthems, Anecdotes, and Undeniable Truths (check out the tracks Binge and Purge, A Shogun Named Marcus and Walking in the Great Shining Path of Monster Trucks) and The Elephant Riders.
I have a feeling they'll be back to tour the new album. Will be a must see show!
I'm glad I don';t have to go to massive stadiums to see them live. They'll definately tour the new album, lucky for us. Probably my favourite band, not a comment many would make lightly.
My Second fav band of all time (behind Kyuss). Flew over to Melb from Perth to see them in 2006 gig tix were 35 bones, flight cost me 430 bones! lol. Have got all my mates and brothers mates into them over the years since I first heard them in 1998.
In order from fav to least fav I would go
Blast tyrant
Elephant riders
Robot hive
Pure rock fury
Self titled
Strange cousins (this may rise though)
Beal St
Jam room
Transnational speedway

They been around for nearly 20 years but what i've heard of them they really have improved since those days in the mid 1990s.Their music is a little like Corrosion Of Conformity.
As a clutch fan i have to say i am dissapointed with Strange Cousins, really seems to be a rehash and not their strongest album, maybe i was just too keen, still absolutely rapt to get a tkt to soundwave cant wait to check them out live.

It has its moments, although it does sound a little less "warm" with no organ on it.
50,000 Unstoppable Watts has live classic written all over it, Freakonomics is a highlight, Abraham Lincoln has been mentioned as the favourite riff that Tim Sult has ever written and would sound massive live too.
