Maryland heavy rockers Clutch will be heading out on the road in September for a tour with The Sword and Graveyard. That's a pretty solid lineup, and a good opportunity to check out Graveyard live if you haven't yet had a chance to do so. Dates after the jump.
Clutch also has a live album forthcoming, Full Fathom Five, which will be out August 12th via the band's own label, Weathermaker Music. Check out a cut off the album, "Texan Book of the Dead," at Ultimate Guitar.

Crustcake Picks - LA Shows 3/13 - 3/19
by beatmasterspeech (LA)
I'd like to use the word solid to describe two things: 1.) my shit 2.) my upcoming show list. This week is a real doozie... ok, enough of that crap... alright, for real now. Good thing I get paid this week because I’m gearing up for a geek out on merch at the following shows.
Thursday is a double header for you fellow Angelenos. If you haven’t heard by now, Clutch are going to be throwing down their Marlyand swamp stomp at the Henry Fonda Theater OR save a lil’ money on ticket prices and let me know how Danava does it live (they open for Acid Mothers Temple so get their early).
Sunday is probably the best day to catch Exhausted Prayer at the Relax Bar. They'll be sharing the stage with Shining (the one from Norway, not Sweden) and local heroes Winterthrall.
After you have knelt at the alter of the ripping Exhausted Prayer, get in gear for a cinematic experience with Explosions In The Sky at "hard to sneak in outside alc-e-hol" The Wiltern.
However, I think I’m most excited to catch the upcoming Fight Amp with Nadja (new album soon) @ The Scene Bar out in Glendale. The experimental Chicago-ens?, Chicagoians?-- dudes from Chicago Yakuza will be headlining the show.
