Filter

Richard Patrick, the creative mastermind behind Filter, has spent over 30 years pushing the boundaries of musical expression. His tenure as Nine Inch Nails’ touring guitarist and involvement in the band’s iconic music videos cemented his place in rock history. Patrick left NIN in 1993 to form Filter. Their explosive debut album, Short Bus, achieved platinum status, propelled by the breakout single, “Hey Man Nice Shot.” The success continued with their follow-up release, Title of Record, also going platinum, thanks to the crossover hit “Take a Picture.” Patrick formed the supergroup Army of Anyone in 2006 alongside Dean and Robert DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots and Ray Luzier of Korn, before refocusing on Filter’s output of later lauded albums, Anthems for the Damned (2008), The Trouble with Angels (2010), The Sun Comes Out Tonight (2013), and Crazy Eyes (2016). 20+ years later, Patrick is more prolific than ever. Celebrating 30 years of Filter, 2023 saw the much-anticipated release of a new Filter album The Algorithm. Singles “Face Down,” “For the Beaten” and “Obliteration” had innovative music videos which garnered attention from new and long-time fans alike. Filter will release The Algorithm: Ultra Edition on August 8th, via the band’s No Pulse Records, and also celebrate the 30th anniversary of Short Bus, with a limited edition colored vinyl reissue out August 15th via Craft Recordings.
