Maryland rockers Clutch, comprised of Neil Fallon (vocals, guitar), Tim Sult (guitar), Dan Maines (bass) and Jean-Paul Gaster (drums, percussion), have revealed they'll return to the UK this December, following the release of their new studio album.

Neil Fallon updates, "We wrapped up recording the latest record a couple of weeks ago in Nashville with Vance Powell. We are really really pleased with it. No title yet… still trying to figure that out. It’s kinda like naming a kid. We’ve known about this UK tour for some time now and it’s nice to finally let the cat out of the bag. If all goes as planned the album will have been out a few months by the time we return to the UK and bust out the new jams. And have proper holiday roasts.”
