‘For The Beaten’ is the latest single from platinum-selling alternative-industrial rock band Filter and will be available digitally on the 14th October via Golden Robot Records.
The single showcases Filter founder Richard Patrick’s signature tenor screams coupled with the band’s unique chugging guitar riffs and comes just mere days after Patrick reunited with his former bandmates in Nine Inch Nails for the first time in over 25 years. The first guitarist to ever tour with Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, was in the band for 4 years before departing to form Filter.
On 23rd September, Patrick was invited to join Nine Inch Nails for a special fan day Q & A at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The following night Reznor had Patrick and other former and current band members put in a special performance at the Blossom Center in Cleveland, Ohio, where the band was originally formed.
“I spent a lot of time in the studio the last two years working on various projects and collaborations but at the core of it all, there is always Filter” said Patrick, “We chose ‘For The Beaten’ as the first single because it’s dynamic, dark, and heavy, just like the moment we are in. I look forward to working with Golden Robot and can’t wait for everyone to hear the full album.”
The song, co-written by Patrick and newcomer Zack Munowitz, was co-produced by Patrick and long-time collaborator Brian Virtue and was mastered by Grammy Award-winner Howie Weinberg.
