CLAMFIGHT: New Jersey Quartet To Release III LP Via Argonauta Records In January; Track Debuted At Doomed And Stoned + Preorders Posted
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!"
With their debut of "History Of The Earls Of
Orkney," Doomed And Stoned reports in part, "CLAMFIGHT have always
offered up a lot of fun with their song titles and especially their lyrics.
This go 'round, they're honed in on a theme, of sorts: the small Scottish
islands of Orkney... III transports us to another world, one that is less
fantasy and more a part of history, which is always twice as fascinating to
me."

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

The members of CLAMFIGHT, Joel Harris, Louis Koble, Andy
Martin, and Sean McKee, are childhood friends turned grown-ass men who are
almost as committed to big riffs as they are to each other. Influenced in equal
parts by their dads' vinyl, that sketchy older kid from woodshop class' thrash
and hardcore tapes as well as touchstone heavy bands like Sleep, Clutch,
Neurosis, Eyehategod, and Mastodon, the band has plied its unique brand of
suburban working slob metal up and down the East Coast of the United States
since 2005. Having issued a debut album, Vol. I, in 2010, and a second album, I
vs. The Glacier, in 2013, the quartet is now poised to release its third full
length, III, through Argonauta Records.
