Official press release:
New Jersey sludge crushers Clamfight present their third album, III, which will see January release through Argonauta Records. Alongside the album’s cover art, track listing, and other details, the band and label have teamed up with Doomed And Stoned webzine to premiere the album’s first single, “History Of The Earls Of Orkney”.
Clamfight offers:
“We’re thrilled to be working with Argonauta for the upcoming release of III. We had a few options available to us however we kept going back to Argonauta because Gero seemed so genuine and honest to work with. We’re also pretty tight with the lads in Hollow Leg and they had nothing but great things to report regarding their experience with Argonauta. We’re excited about the potential that exists with this budding relationship and look forward to broadening our reach across the Atlantic and helping promote the other great bands on the Argonauta roster!”
Booming with five massive tracks which total nearly forty-five minutes of groove-laden sludge-soaked stoner rock jams, Clamfight sounds more victorious in their thunderous mission than ever before on their third full-length release. III was recorded and produced at Gradwell House Studios in New Jersey by Steve Poponi, with additional recording by Davin Sosa and Christopher Skowronski. The album was mastered by Dave Downham at Gradwell House, and completed with photography by Woody Musgrove, and features guest contributions of lead guitar on “Whale Road” by CWolf, lead vocals on “Echoes In Stone” by Jean Saiz and Janette Valentine, and lead guitar and sonic spookery on “Echoes In Stone” and “Whale Road” by Erik Caplan.
Clamfight’s III will see CD and digital release on January 19th through Argonauta Records; find pre-orders HERE.
A vinyl pressing of III will see release through Elder Magick with a release date to be announced.
III track listing:
1. “Whale Road”
