Clutch is a stoner rock band with some really unique lyrics - Neil Fallon has the manic poetry of someone who has seen The Truth and has lived to tell the tale. The first 3nsongs of their 2015 album Psychic Warfare are presented as the singer recounting a weird tale to the authorities after the fact.
The Affidavit is spoken word opener where a cop or someone asks the singer to just write down everything that happened.
X-ray visions launches into the tale pychi warfare, conspiracies and the vengeful spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan.
Firebirds continues the tale: the singer encounters a strange girl who demands classic automobiles and energy weapons or else.
For extra credit a subsequent album revisits the same speaker years later trying to explain it all to his young son - In Walks Barbarella
Probably most clutch songs have this storytelling style and I can't recommend them enough
Love clutch, the lyrics are certainly something that helps them stand out from the crowd
