Die US-Rocker CLUTCH präsentieren die neue Single `Red Alert (Boss Metal Zone)` in der Videopremiere. Nach der Metamorphose vom Hardcore zum Stoner zum Blues Rock Act geht es beim neuen Track wieder vermehrt modern-rockig zur Sache.

Frontmann Neil Fallon erklärt:

„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?). 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.“

Und Drummer Jean-Paul Gaster fügt an:

“‘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.“

Lyrics

YOU’RE SITTING WATCHING T.V.

 

WHEN SUDDENLY YOU DISCOVER A WASP CRAWLING ON YOUR WRIST

I USED TO WORK FOR DOC TYRELL IT DIDN’T END SO WELL

BEEN MISBEHAVING SINCE THE TANNHÄUSER GATE

QUIT NOW YOU WON’T REGRET BUT YOU GOT TO TAKE THAT FIRST STEP

YOU STRIKE ME AS THE TYPE WHO HONESTLY APPRECIATES

 

ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES IN MY VEINS

NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED

RED ALERT! BOSS METAL ZONE! RED ALERT!

 

THE GREATEST LIVING SCIENCE FICTION WRITER IN THE WORLD

YOU’RE LOOKING AT HIM YEAH YOU’RE LOOKING AT HIM

YOU’D MAKE A GREAT COMPANION ON A FANTASTIC VOYAGE

SO WHAT DO YA SAY? YEAH WHAT DO YA SAY?

 

ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES IN MY VEINS

NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED

RED ALERT! BOSS METAL ZONE! RED ALERT!

 

YOU ARE GIVEN A CALFSKIN WALLET ON YOUR BIRTHDAY

YOU’VE BEEN GRINDING NINE TO FIVE MINING JUST TO STAY ALIVE

HOW MANY HEARTBEATS ARE THERE LEFT FOR THE RECORD?

CAN YOU PASS THE VOIGHT-KAMPFF TEST UNDER EMOTIONAL STRESS?

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE ROY BATTY METHOD?

 

ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES IN MY VEINS

NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED

RED ALERT! BOSS METAL ZONE! RED ALERT!

ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES IN MY VEINS

SO MANY TEARS IN THE RAIN

RED ALERT! BOSS METAL ZONE! RED ALERT!
