Video footage has emerged showing Clutch perform two new tracks.
The band’s drummer Jean-Paul Gaster recently revealed that they were working on a “handful of tunes,” with Clutch playing one of the new tracks How To Shake Hands at last weekend’s Download festival.
Video of that track was captured at Belfast’s The Limelight on Wednesday night, along with We Love A Good Fire. Watch both performances below.
Speaking about their recent work, Gaster told Metal Wani: We took a good bit of time off from touring. We were off for nearly four months and for us, that’s quite a long time.
“We spent a good portion of that writing new songs, working out in the jam room, working on new arrangements, working on concepts. And at this point, we have a handful of tunes that have vocal ideas. We’ve been putting them into the set.
“For us, it’s super important to put the new material in the set regardless of the setting – whether it’s a festival or club gig. it really gives us the opportunity to hear the song for what it is.
“It’s an exciting time for us. We’re in a very creative mind space right now.”
Clutch’s next planned show is in Belgium on Saturday. Find a full list of their tour dates below.
