Canadian progressive rockers Rush have announced details via their website for their upcoming nineteenth studio album, Clockwork Angels. The album, set for release on 12 June, will be their first on Roadrunner Records. It will be a concept album and will be released alongside a tie-in novel from science fiction writer Kevin J. Anderson that elaborates on the story in the music. The second single (after the preemptive release of the double A-side "Caravan" / "BU2B" in 2010) will be an edited version of the song "Headlong Flight", due out on 19 April. The album is now available for pre-order, including a special "fan pack" edition. Hit the jump for the tracklisting.
