Rating: 4 Flaming Goat Heads
With Pure Rock Fury, Clutch again shoves a knotty staff into the wheels of America's musical chariot's Kamikaze run, blending melodic Cro-Magnon growlings, nitrous-fueled bulldozer guitars and semi-distorted bitch-slapping bass to warrant their self-escorted march into solitary confinement under the music industry's main pen. Tim Sult's guitar riffs define post-Sabbath rock; raw yet elegant, his lines command the songs' direction while still taking time to melodically spar with singer Neil "I gargle with razor blades" Fallon's infectious staccato pumpings. The straight-ahead, stuck in third gear drive of "Immortal" borders on Motorhead on Quaaludes while the overdriven cruise of the album's title track mainlines Adrenachrome into the band's Sabbath-y vein. Closing with a live version of 1995's "Spacegrass," Pure Rock Fury is an all-encompassing showcase of Clutch's inspired musical sermon.-Cliff Frantz
