Clutch unleash new single and video, Red Alert (Boss Metal Zone)

As they tour the U.S. right now with EyeHateGod and Tiger Cub, Clutch have also just treated fans to a brand-new single and video, Red Alert (Boss Metal Zone).

Says frontman Neil Fallon of how the great new tune came about: "Early in 2021, I learned the Boss Metal Zone pedal schematic was being presented as 'proof' that the COVID-19 vaccine had an electronic component to communicate with 5G cellular networks. It was, of course, nonsense. It sounded like a Philip K. Dick premise. I didn’t want to write a song specific to COVID-19 vaccines, so I went with the Philip K. Dick angle (again).

"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? came to mind – replicants, in particular, representing what is real and not real, or is there a difference at all? The video makes no secret that this is an homage to Philip K. Dick and a future where we have distortion coursing through our veins."

"Red Alert (Boss Metal Zone) is one of the faster cuts on our forthcoming album," adds drummer Jean-Paul Gaster. "It kicks in and hits like a freight train. The intensity of the recording reminds me of our live shows. This song cooks and I can’t wait to play it on tour!"
