Clutch and The Sword @ The Electric Factory.

Long-time rockers Clutch blew away the Electric Factory on Friday, with singer Neil fallon striking menacing poses and Jean-Paul Gaster pounding rhythms all night.

Many people in the crowd screamed along with every word of the 16-song set, even “Earth Rocker,” the title track from the band’s March release. After a brief pause, the band returned for an encore of “A Shogun Named Marcus” and “Electric Worry.”

Maryland-based Clutch has been touring non-stop since the album dropped. The day after their Philly show, they played before a huge outdoor show in Columbus, Ohio.

The Sword played before Clutch and they showed an intensity that probably would have satisfied the audience if The Sword were the headliner.

Fellow Marylanders Lionize opened the show.
