Anthems for the Damned is the upcoming fourth studio album by American industrial rock band Filter, scheduled for release on May 13, 2008.[1] The album is reportedly written around lead man Richard Patrick’s time in rehab, the current state of the world, and the current state of his life. This will be Filter’s first album release since 2002, due to the Army of Anyone supergroup Richard Patrick took part in. The first single Soldiers of Misfortune was recently released to rock radio for airplay and through the band’s MySpace page.
The album is said to be a dose of heavy industrial, soaring anthems, and heavy soundscapes. The album will feature collaborators such as guitarist/songwriter John 5, Black Light Burns guitarist Wes Borland, and Nine Inch Nails live drummer Josh Freese.

Great cd…In Dreams & Lie After Lie are stand outs for me.
got this a while ago, and wish the live show (in austin) were a little more exciting. not sure how, but anyway. richard should stop talking between songs! jeez…
It’s kind of funny that Filter still advertizes their music as “industrial,” when they were never really relevant to that scene in the first place. Is Anthems For The Damned in any way more industrial than the other Filter albums?
Filter’s pretty cool. Nothing insane or revolutionary, but they’re a nice listen now and again. I’ve got both “The Amalgamut” and “Title of Record,” heard that “Short Bus” is pretty good (“Hey Man, Nice Shot”), and I’ve heard a little of the Army of Anyone stuff.
I might be picking this one up. Thanks for the info.

it’s rock n roll just like all of his releases after Short Bus.
Filter’s always been a bit hit or miss to me. I think the first album is good, while everything else is either good, so-so, or just forgettable. I do have all three albums though, and yet to hear anything of the newer one, but from the reviews i’ve read and so on, it’s not good.

exactly. sometimes you just want to listen to some well written rock stuff. Filter works for that perfectly.
