Book of Bad Decisions

Book of Bad Decisions, CLUTCH's 12th studio album is scheduled for a worldwide release on September 7th, 2018 via their own Weathermaker Music label. The album was recorded at Sputnik Sound in Nashville, TN by producer Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather) and consists of 15 new tracks.

"With Vance Powell as producer we were able to make a very different kind of an album. The songs feel as if they could jump out of the speakers!" says drummer Jean-Paul Gaster.

Bassist Dan Maines seconds that when he says "Recording in Nashville with Vance Powell gave us a new and fresh approach towards making an album that truly captures the live energy of Clutch in a way I don't think we’ve done before."

When they debuted in the early '90s, Maryland hard rock workhorses Clutch combined elements of funk and metal inspired by Faith No More and Led Zeppelin. Through the decades, they built a devoted fan following through constant touring and hit alt-rock crossover albums, starting in the late '90s with Clutch and The Elephant Riders and extending into the 2000s. By the 2010s, the veteran quartet reached new heights, achieving late-era success with 2013's Earth Rocker and 2015's Psychic Warfare, which both peaked in the Top 15 of the Billboard 200.
