Product Description Committed to truth in advertising, the irrepressible Clutch hammer it home with renewed electric vigor and percussive pummel on their forthcoming PURE ROCK FURY. Harkening back to the magical, early '70s era of metal's dynamic genesis, the band - Neil Fallon (vocals), Tim Sult (guitars), Dan Maines (bass), and Jean Paul Gaster (drums) - lays down thunderous drums/bass/rhythm guitar bedrock, relentlessly textured by hauntingly phrased, guttural vocals and guitar-hero styled leads. On this, their fourth full-length album, the Harpers Ferry, West Virginia-based quartet has creatively acknowledged the importance of the live performance in their music by incorporating complete concert tracks and snippets from a recent Washington, D.C. date into the mix. Amazon.com The 13 tracks of shrieking, strangulated fuzz guitar and heavy riffing found on Pure Rock Fury are as vital as the title demands. Think Led Zeppelin II run through the monolithic speaker-stacks of desert-rock innovators . That Pure Rock Fury is an instant heavy-music landmark is certainly due in part to special guests guitarist Scott Weinrich of stoner-rock heavy hitters and guitar mystics Sixty Watt Shaman. But when Clutch hit their stride, they clearly don't need any help. Witness the snatches of live performance that culminate in the staggering, frenzied, and shrieking "Spacegrass." Pure Rock Fury elevates Clutch to the stoner-rock elite. --Louis Pattison
