Recorded at the The Magpie Cage Recording Studio in Baltimore, MD, the project was produced and mixed by Grammy-nominated Tom Dalgety (Ghost, Royal Blood) with additional engineering by J Robbins (Against Me!, The Sword).
Clutch first introduced the album with the lead track, “Red Alert (Boss Metal Zone)”, and follow-up, “We Strive For Excellence.”
Drummer Jean-Paul Gaster initially thought the record would be an opposite reaction to the polarization and uncertainty of the pandemic years - perhaps something more upbeat, in the vein of 2013's "Earth Rocker."
"The more the songs took shape, the less I saw that kind of an album," says Gaster. "Something different took shape. The record we ended up with is, in some ways, the most different record we've made in a long time."
Clutch will launch the album on a North American tour this fall, with shows beginning September 13 in Toronto, ON.
