Clutch's early years were marked by raw intensity and experimentation, captured perfectly on the EP 'Impetus'. Originally released in the early 1990s and now reissued on vinyl for the first time in over 25 years, this collection showcases the Maryland band’s formative sound before they became a powerhouse of stoner rock and heavy groove. 'Impetus' features five tracks, including all three songs from their second-ever single "Passive Restraints", which still holds a place in their live setlists today. Also included is "Pile Driver", a rarity that first appeared only on a scarce 12-inch edition of Clutch’s debut single in 1991.

Rounding out the release is a demo version of the title track 'Impetus', making its vinyl debut. The EP offers a glimpse into the band’s gritty beginnings, combining elements of hardcore punk, metal, and the burgeoning groove rock that would later define their sound. This reissue serves both as a nostalgic artifact for longtime fans and a raw, energetic introduction for new listeners curious about Clutch’s evolution. With the band’s twelfth album on the horizon, 'Impetus' reminds us of the unfiltered power and originality that have kept Clutch at the forefront of heavy rock for over three decades.
