Sunrise on Slaughter Beach is the thirteenth studio album by American rock band Clutch. It was released on September 16, 2022, through the band's own label Weathermaker Music.[3][4] It is Clutch's first studio album since Book of Bad Decisions in 2018. The album was originally intended as a positive counterpoint to the social volatility and divisiveness caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the lyrics eventually touched on a more diverse range of social topics.[5][6]

Reception


At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album has an average score of 80 based on 9 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[7] According to Blabbermouth, the album fits within Clutch's long-term development, "never taking any drastic left turns, though progression and noticeable change has been evident over time."[5] MetalSucks largely agreed, stating that "Sunrise on Slaughter Beach is your typical Clutch record," but "there’s always a little more going on under the hood of any Clutch offering."[8]

Kerrang! offered a positive review, stating that "13 albums in, Clutch are still uniquely brilliant, master craftsmen of a form at once ingeniously simple and amazingly clever."[9] Metal Injection called the album "grand without pomposity, experimental without an inch of fat and underwritten with grooves so thick you could build a bridge out of them."[10] According to Metal Planet Music, "Clutch have delivered a monster album here. It’s dirty, sludgy, heavy as hell and trippy when it needs to be."[11] According to Rock n' Load, "‘Sunrise on Slaughter Beach’ is a grand entrance into newfound Clutch territory not seen before. Whilst still harnessing their iconic sound, the band have managed to widen their range and prove themselves once more pioneers; unafraid of throwing out a curveball"[12]
