Clutch add Psychic Warfare UK dates

Clutch have added six dates to their schedule for November and December, after previously announcing shows in Dublin and Belfast.

Neil Fallon and co will also appear in Glasgow, Nottingham, Bristol, Manchester, Wolverhampton and London in support of 11th album Psychic Warfare, set for release in September.

Fallon recently revealed the album title via The Metal Hammer Magazine Show and added: “‘Psychic warfare’ is a lyric from the first track, X-Ray Visions. It’s about a guy holed up in a motel for unexplained reasons, and he’s under great duress, being attacked by psychically-empowered agents of unknown origin. At least, that’s the back story I have in my head.”

In April drummer Jean-Paul Gaster described the material on the follow-up to 2012’s Earth Rocker as “more diverse,” saying: “I think the performances were very inspired – the tunes have a very passionate feel to them.”

Tickets for the shows in Ireland are available now. The others go on sale at 10am on June 17 (Wednesday) via Live Nation, with support to be announced in due course.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
