Clutch releases "
Psychic Warfare" (2015) and "
Earth Rocker" (2013).
"Book of Bad Decisions", the new
Clutch album is done in true
Clutch style and tradition. With pensive lyrics backed by abrasive riffs and bad-ass bass,
Clutch once again comes through with an album that is hit after hit from top to bottom."

- EMPEROR RHOMBUS - Metal Sucks
