Pure Rock Fury is the fifth album by American rock bandClutch, released on March 13, 2001, and is their only album release withAtlantic Records. The albumliner notes state that it is dedicated to Ronnie True.[4]
This album features guest appearances byScott "Wino" Weinrich (The Obsessed,Saint Vitus,Spirit Caravan),Leslie West (Mountain), and Dan and Joe ofSixty Watt Shaman, highlighting the band's habit of having musical contemporaries play on their albums.[5]
The album yielded a minor hit with "Careful with That Mic...", arap rock parody, whichCMJ complimented for its clever rhymes.[6] The song "Immortal" was originally released with different lyrics and arrangement as the song "Baby I'm Down" by Leslie West on his debut albumMountain. Clutch rearranged it and changed the lyrics somewhat, and it features a guitar solo by the original author, Leslie West, on it, who then had his band Mountain cover this Clutch version on theirMystic Fire album the following year.
Clutch vocalistNeil Fallon has stated in an interview that of all Clutch's albums,Pure Rock Fury is his least favourite.[7]
The song "Immortal" is featured in the video gameHitman: Contracts. The song "Pure Rock Fury" is featured in the video gameMotorStorm: Pacific Rift.
