FILTER To Release 'The Remixes For The Damned' In November
October 6, 2008Politically fueled rockers FILTER will release a remix album featuring brand new takes on various tracks from their 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.
