Reflecting on the tour’s promotion, Fallon admitted (by way of Blabbermouth): “In hindsight, I do not assume we did an excellent job of type of selling that or letting individuals know that was taking place. So, we’re gonna do it once more for just a little bit, similar to 4 extra exhibits, in type of Mid-Atlantic in New York, and Baltimore, the realm, as a result of it was the twentieth anniversary of the document.”

After these exhibits, the band plans to take a hiatus from touring till April. Fallon revealed that in this time, they will flip their consideration to celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of Clutch‘s 1995 self-titled album. Excitingly, this milestone features a long-awaited re-release on vinyl. “Then we’re gonna take a substantial period of time off, just about till April, after which we’re gonna type of do the identical factor with the 1995 self-titled document as a result of that’ll be the thirtieth anniversary for that and we got the rights to re-release that on vinyl correctly. I imply, we do not personal that document outright, but it surely’s getting nearer. And within the areas in between, we’re writing the brand new document. It is onerous to type of do this once you’re continually touring. You’d assume it might be simpler to jot down on the highway, however at this level, that is type of the very last thing I wanna do” he admitted.

Reflecting additional on the artistic course of, Fallon defined that crafting new songs is not any easy feat after 30 years as a band. “The factor is with being in a band, it is a hive thoughts. It might be one factor should you have been the one individual you needed to reply to and also you understood what sort of temper you are in. Like, ‘I am in a bitter temper. I do not wanna write music. Or ‘I am in an incredible temper and I may bang out 5 songs.’ However once you’re coping with personalities, notably personalities which have been with one another for 30 years, you type of have to attend for the celebs to align. And we do not wanna simply put out a document for the sake of placing out a document. We wanna put out an superior document, and if that takes longer than, as an example, standard, then so be it.”
