Blast Tyrant is the sixth full-length studio album by the American stoner rock band Clutch. It was released in 2004, and contains 15 tracks. The unabridged title of the album is Blast Tyrant's Atlas of the Invisible World Including Illustrations of Strange Beasts And Phantoms.
A reissue of the album was released on May 10, 2011 through Clutch's own label Weathermaker Music. The reissue contains all of the original recordings from Blast Tyrant, along with a second bonus disc entitled "Basket of Eggs." The second disc contains 10 songs: acoustic versions of "Tight Like That", "Basket of Eggs", "The Regulator", and "Drink to the Dead" as well as some unreleased material.[5]
Speaking to 106.1 Rock Radio, Corey Taylor (the lead vocalist of Slipknot) said "Blast Tyrant is one of the best records I've ever heard. Every track is gold- at least to me".
Blast Tyrant is the first Clutch album to feature acoustic guitar, on the tracks "The Regulator" & "Ghost."
The music video for "The Mob Goes Wild" was created by Ryan Dunn.[6] The song itself is a downloadable song on Rock Band 2.
