Pure Rock Fury is the fifth full-length album by the band Clutch and it was released on March 13, 2001, and is the only release with Atlantic Records. The album liner notes state that it is dedicated to Ronnie True.
This album features guest appearances by Scott "Wino" Weinrich from Spirit Caravan, Leslie West from Mountain, and Dan and Joe from Sixty Watt Shaman, highlighting the bands habit of having musical contemporaries play on their albums.
The album yielded a minor hit with "Careful With That Mic...", a Rap Metal parody, which artist CMJ complimented for its clever rhymes, which then adds the genre Rap Metal to bands already long list of styles on their albums. The song "Immortal" was originally released with different lyrics and arrangement as the song "Baby I'm Down" by Leslie West on his debut album Mountain. 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 their Mystic Fire album the following year.
Clutch vocalist Neil Fallon has stated that of all Clutch's albums, this is his least favourite.
The song "Immortal" is featured in the video game Hitman: Contracts. The song "Pure Rock Fury" is featured in the video game MotorStorm: Pacific Rift.
All songs written by Clutch except where noted.
