Filter is heading back into the studio in April to start recording their new record, a follow up to 2010’s ‘The Trouble with Angels.’ They’ll be working with producer Bob Marlette whose impressive track record includes work with Black Sabbath, Saliva and Atreyu. The tentative title of the new record is ‘Gurney and the Burning Books.’

In a recent interview Richard Patrick confirmed that the band is already about seven songs into the writing process and plan to “tear your face off with music.” 

Patrick also confirmed that drummer Mika Fineo and bassist Phil Buckman wouldn’t be returning to the mix this time around, explaining, “It was time for a change for us. Filter is not a band, it’s a project.” As of right now, the project includes Patrick joined by Jonny Radke.

Filter recently wrapped a short run of East Coast tour dates.
