'Blast Tyrant' is Clutch’s sixth full-length studio album! It was originally released in March 2004 as CD only (on DRT Entertainment) and now re-issued as double CD set on Weathermaker Music with a second disc added entitled 'Basket OF Eggs'.
Guitarist Tim Sult and crew come out firing on all cylinders on opening track Mercury, which starts out with a long instrumental passage chock full of mean, thick and ferocious riffs before vocalist Neil Fallon takes command at the top of his lungs. The part-political, part-protest rock cut 'Mob Goes Wild' was a minor hit in modern rock radio seven years ago and is still an album highlight, along with the southern rock-ish hard rock and danger zone lyrics of 'Cypress Grove'.
Other favourites include 'Profits of Doom', which is bass-heavy and contains some pseudo-psychedelic vocals, along with the moderately paced rock of 'Promoter (of Earthbound Causes)', with its standout out-there and humorous lyrics like “A little bit of Ritalin goes a long way”.
