In a recent conversation with Bloodstock TV<\/a><\/em>‘s Oran O’Beirne<\/strong>, Clutch<\/a><\/strong>‘s lead vocalist Neil Fallon<\/strong> revealed that the band has just wrapped up their first demo session with producer Tom Dalgety<\/strong> for what will be the follow-up to their 2022 release, Sunrise On Slaughter Beach<\/em>.<\/p>\n Fallon<\/strong> stated: “We’re gonna try to maybe do another session in January and then another one right before we record. Hopefully, we’ll have 15 tracks and then we’ll pick maybe the 10 best, release those, and maybe save some for a rainy day.”<\/p>\n Praising Dalgety<\/strong>, Fallon<\/strong> highlighted the importance of a good working relationship, mentioning, “Tom’<\/strong>s great. I think sometimes working with a producer, personality is half the battle because they can have all the skills in the world but if they’re an asshole, you don’t wanna work with them. Tom<\/strong> is anything but that.”<\/p>\n Still, we will have to be patient, as Fallon<\/strong> indicated that the band’s next album is likely to drop in the third quarter of 2025. He explained: “It would be probably the third quarter. Nowadays, you’ve gotta have such a buffer. It’s getting better with vinyl, but we have to plan that way in advance.”<\/p>\n When asked if the band might test out some of their new tracks live before the album’s release, Fallon<\/strong> expressed interest: “Yeah. we try to. That doesn’t always happen. Playing a song live in front of people is a much different animal than doing it in a studio where you can stop and say, ‘I have to go to the bathroom.’ There’s an urgency that will change a song. Sometimes something sounds great and then you put it on stage and it may be not so much, or vice versa. So we like to do that.”<\/p>\n
