Clutch have premiered a new video for their new song “Beware The Fever.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Wasted Lands,” which will be released on January 27.
Frontman Neil Fallon commented:
“‘Beware The Fever‘ started out as a lark. I played some random melodies on a poorly tuned Deering Goodtime banjo and JP put a hip-hop beat to it. I thought that would be the end of it. Boy was I wrong. As a result of this, I now spend a lot of my free time watching banjo tutorial videos and the algorithm is really pushing AARP benefits and retirement properties in the Ozarks. Beware!”
Drummer Jean-Paul Gaster added:
“The music for ‘Beware The Fever‘ came to life in what I believe to be record time for our band. It started with one of those pre-recorded drum loops. This time Neil recorded some banjo parts first. He followed up with some electric guitar and then bass to create the massive chorus. The whole process took less than 20 minutes.
I loved the music right away. I remember listening to the instrumental demo over and over again wondering what Neil might sing on it. It was months later while in pre-production with Machine that we finally heard those amazing lyrics. ‘Beware the fever running thru town.’ This song is easily one of my favorites on the record. The Banjo you hear on the album is from that first demo Neil played in the Doom Saloon one afternoon in January of 2026.”
