Clutch have released a video for their new single Red Alert (Boss Metal Zone).
“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?),” comments front man Neil Fallon.
Whilst drummer Jean-Paul Gaster adds: “‘Red Alert (Boss Metal Zone)’ is one of the faster cuts on our forthcoming album. 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!”
Speaking about the video which was directed by David Brodsky and can be seen below, Fallon adds: “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 available to stream/download HERE.
