FILTER will release a remix album featuring brand new takes on various tracks from its latest CD,
"Anthems For The Damned".
"The Remixes For The Damned" album will be in stores on November 4 — just in time for the Presidential Election!
FILTER's first independently released album,
"Anthems for the Damned" is a pro-troops, anti-war statement that also tackles the need to look around at the state of things and what kind of world we are leaving to our children. Making a return to his industrial roots,
Richard Patrick feels that some of these songs could benefit from an industrial feel.
Patrick states, "I love the way
'Anthems' sounds, but I just wanted to try something new. I've been living with the tracks for the past year and half so I felt it would be interesting to get a different take on some of these songs."
Set for a digital-only release, the new album features remakes of select songs on
"Anthems" by
Richard Patrick,
Mitch Marlow,
John Spiker,
Clayton W (
REVOLTING COCKS,
MINISTRY),
Timmy the Terror Anderson (
IMA ROBOT),
Rae DiLeo (producer, engineer for
FILTER),
Ben Wise (producer),
Ryan Williams,
Carlos Villalobos and
John O'Brien.
