Clutch Launch ‘Weathermaker Vault Series’ with “Evil” Single

Clutch about to launch a swing through Europe playing festivals, unveiling a new singles series with a cover of a song that Willie Dixon wrote and Cactus took on at the dawn of the heavy ’70s? Yeah, that sounds about right. The Maryland stalwarts go abroad this week for your Downloads, your Copenhells, your Graspops and your Hellfests, etc., before coming back next month for a co-headline swing with Killswitch Engage to I guess get a jump on aughts nostalgia for people who were in college at the same time I was. That tour has indoor and outdoor shows, which is nifty, it being summertime and all, and is noteworthy as well for the stop at their own Earth Rocker Festival on July 13 in West Virginia.

And yes, at the same time, they’re kicking off the Weathermaker Vault Series — seriously, just take my money — with a cover of “Evil,” a song that, even if you don’t know it, you already know it. Others are reportedly to follow — hence “series” — but as the video at the bottom of this post portrays, it’s a righteous take and a hell of a start for whatever will follow.

And I was thinking not too long ago that it’s been too damn long since Clutch banged out one of their limited-as-hell live albums, so hopefully some such thing makes its way through their new Vault as well sooner or later.

CLUTCH RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO FOR “EVIL”

BAND LAUNCHES THE “WEATHERMAKER VAULT SERIES”
“EVIL” LYRIC VIDEO AVAILABLE NOW

Clutch announce the release of “Evil.” The single is the first in a series of new studio recordings that will comprise the newly launched Weathermaker Vault Series and the first new official music Clutch is making available since the release of their critically acclaimed album, Book Of Bad Decisions.

Future tracks will follow as part of the new series throughout the 2nd half of 2019. These songs are bound to become another classic milestone in the band’s stellar career.

“Evil” was mixed by 6X Grammy Award winner and Clutch collaborator, Vance Powell (Wolfmother, The Raconteurs, Arctic Monkeys).

A lyric video for “Evil” accompanies the release and can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/RDehbNb4Q1Y

“We’ve had a good amount of downtime since our last tour. And since the devil finds work for idle hands, we kept ourselves busy by recording some tunes. “Evil” is the first of them, a song we’ve loved for many, many years.” Neil Fallon
