Formed in 1991, the Maryland-based band’s ability to absorb different musical styles and fabricate them into a distinct Clutchsound continues to be their forté. The eleventh Clutch studio album Psychic Warfare goes straight for the throat with “X- Ray Visions” and never lets go. “A Quick Death In Texas,” overstocked with signature “Clutch heavy” Tim Sult riffs and lonesome guitar licks, and the funk undercurrent of “Your Love Is Incarceration,” color Psychic Warfare with articulate musicality and comfortable familiarity. Harder, faster… let the rhythm hit ’em. The overall intensity of Psychic Warfare would be self-consuming without the pressure valve of a canny rhythm section. Drummer Jean-Paul Gaster and bassist Dan Maines have an intuitive sense of dynamics that gives weight and contrast to the forcefulness ofNeil Fallon’s vocals, steering Clutch into the straightaway out of tight, exhilarating corners. Psychic Warfare is cinematic, a soundtrack to the plot of singer Neil Fallon’s imagination. The narrative of “The Affidavit”sets the scene for an album of gunslingers, energy weapons, paranoid neurosis, and the occasional three-legged mule. It’s an episodic lyrical landscape populated by abstract characterization, nuance, and clever peculiarity. The bar is set higher, laws of physics be damned. Psychic Warfare is Clutch’s new adventure, and it has no limit.
