We are still remembering the goth darkness we got to enjoy for a moment in the Helldorado stage tent at Alcatraz earlier this summer with Unto Others, and in a couple of weeks we’ll get to enjoy more of this new era of the band with their new album ‘Never, Neverland’ out via Century Media Records! Another single with ‘Momma Likes the Door Closed’ was released about a week ago, and it’s all we’ve ever wanted with heavy riffing and goth vibes!

Between their festival summer dates in Europe, CLUTCH have given a few club shows called the “New World Samurai Tour 2024”. On one of the hottest days of German summer 2024 they turned up the heat some degrees more with an outstanding gig at Substage in Karlsruhe. Supported by Green Lung, a great night of blues and stoner infused rock and some notes of classic NWOBHM left a happy crowd.
