Clutch released the first installment of the Weathermaker Vaults Series, a cover of Willie Dixon’s blues staple Evil, in June.

“We’ve had a good amount of downtime since our last tour,” says Clutch frontman Neil Fallon of the Weathermaker Vaults Series. “And since the devil finds work for idle hands, we kept ourselves busy by recording some tunes.”

 

Clutch have announced a run of European tour dates which will take place throughout December.

The band will  kick off the live shows at Strasbourg’s La Laiterie on December 7 and wrap things up at Nottingham’s Rock City on December 20 – one of four English shows.
