Clutch has announced the Clutch Collector’s Series, limited-edition vinyl reissues of four catalog albums on its own label, Weathermaker Music. “Blast Tyrant” is the first release in the series and is curated by drummer Jean-Paul Gaster.
“I worked with the album’s original artist Chon Hernandez to create a new look and feel for the Clutch Collector’s Series release of ‘Blast Tyrant,” Gaster said. “Chon did an amazing job drawing the ‘Blast Tyrant’ to look 20 years older and wiser. We selected new colors for the jacket, sleeves and vinyl to make a completely new package. “
The album has been remastered and is manufactured on 180-gram colored vinyl. The gatefold jacket is printed on metalized polyester paper and embossed with the official Clutch Collector’s Series seal. The double-disc set is sleeved in extra heavy stock paper and includes a numbered insert autographed by the band. The Clutch Collector’s Series release of “Blast Tyrant” is limited to 5,000 units worldwide.
“Blast Tyrant” is scheduled to be released in June.
