Clutch Sets Early 2026 Recording Plan For Next Album

The project reunites the band with producer Gene 'Machine' Freeman under a release timetable they control.

Overview

  • Neil Fallon says a final writing session is scheduled for January, with recording targeted for late January or early February 2026.
  • Clutch is working with longtime collaborator Gene “Machine” Freeman, while earlier plans to team again with Tom Dalgety appear shelved.
  • There are a number of songs already demoed, but the band is not predicting a release date.
  • Fallon notes finishing to mastering can take up to six months, and the group will hold the release if the timing does not feel right.
  • A U.S. co-headline tour with Corrosion of Conformity is confirmed for April–May 2026 with support from JD Pinkus.
