A few months ago, Frank and I were invited to a private Clutch party where the band would play six new tracks from their upcoming release, Earth Rocker. It was exciting to hear the material in rough form. The songs sounded great.
Today, the band released artwork for the release, and I'm blown away. The artwork was created by longtime collaborator Nick Lakiotes, who absolutely killed it.
As an extra bonus, some footage from the Clutch party has surfaced. See if you can spot me (spoiler: you can!)
