Clutch released a new single “Red Alert (Boss Metal Zone)” in April, and today they released another new single, “We Strive For Excellence,” and promised a new album “coming soon.” “‘We Strive for Excellence’ looks back fondly on childhood summers filled with big plans gone wrong, inexplicable bruises, untreated wounds and, of course, the timeless wisdom of Evel Knievel”, said frontman Neil Fallon. Check it out below.

They also announced a tour with the killer support lineup of Helmet and Quicksandswhich will rotate the main support slot every night, and JD Pinkus of Butthole surfers opens all dates too.
