CLUTCH - Pure Rock Fury (CD)

Committed to truth in advertising, the irrepressible Clutch hammer it home with renewed electric vigor and percussive pummel on their forthcoming PURE ROCK FURY. Harkening back to the magical, early '70s era of metal's dynamic genesis, the band - Neil Fallon (vocals), Tim Sult (guitars), Dan Maines (bass), and Jean Paul Gaster (drums) - lays down thunderous drums/bass/rhythm guitar bedrock, relentlessly textured by hauntingly phrased, guttural vocals and guitar-hero styled leads.

On this, their fourth full-length album, the Harpers Ferry, West Virginia-based quartet has creatively acknowledged the importance of the live performance in their music by incorporating complete concert tracks and snippets from a recent Washington, D.C. date into the mix.
