Rush will return this summer with Clockwork Angels, due June 12th, which will be the trio's 20th studio record and their first album of original material since 2007's Snakes & Arrows.
For the new record, the band turned again to Snakes & Arrows co-producer Nick Raskulinecz and recorded in Nashville and Toronto. The conceptual set will trace a protagonist's journey through a world of steampunk, alchemy and an exotic carnival; drummer and lyricist Neil Peart is also writing a novelization of the album with prolific author Kevin J. Anderson.
Between records, Rush has kept busy with a series of tours, documenting their most recent dates with the Time Machine 2011: Live in Cleveland live album and DVD last November. (They also made an appearance as the object of Paul Rudd and Jason Segel's sonic affection in the 2009 film I Love You, Man)
