Richard Patrick Plans New Filter Album And Memoir

. Richard Patrick has announced that Filter will soon be entering the recording studio to begin tracking the band's 7th studio album and he also revealed that he is working on a memoir.

Patrick will once again work with producer/mixer Ben Gross (Short Bus, Title of Record, The Amalgamut) and he revealed that he is also collaborating on the new music with former Filter co-writer Brian Leisgang, and also with guitarist Oumi Kapilia.

The Filter frontman explains the approach to the new music, "I'm headed in a new direction. More stripped down industrial sound. Keeping things moving but a way more 'f*** it' approach. Just like short bus although it won't sound like short bus but it will sound like filter."

Patrick had the following to say about his plans for a memoir, "If people had any idea of what happened to me from my NIN days to now, they'd be shocked. Drugs, betrayal, war, death, crime, music, pain, and drugs."

Fans can also catch the band on the road with the recently reunited Coal Chamber beginning next month for a tour that will be kicking off on March 6th in Tempe, AZ and concluding on April 12th in Dallas, TX.
