FILTER are set to release their remixed and remastered new album, ‘The Algorithm: Ultra Edition,’ out now via the band’s No Pulse Records. The album features re-imagined cuts from ‘The Algorithm’ – the tight conceptual statement heralding career-best songwriting from Filter mastermind Richard Patrick – with 9 additional tracks.
The new album’s first single, the speaker-shattering “All The Good,” featuring that classic Filter sound with a modern sonic edge – is pure existential chaos, heavy psychotic riffs and a soaring, anthemic chorus. It’s not so much a loud-quiet-loud dynamic as a loud-quiet-monstrously loud one. From out of the blocks, Patrick’s vocals are pushed into the red, and from there… things only get heavier. Produced by Patrick and long-time collaborator Brian Virtue, “All The Good” was co-written by Zach Munowitz, the guitarist who co-wrote “For the Beaten”, “Up Against the Wall”, and “Say It Again.”
The Algorithm: Ultra Edition also delivers 4 remixes of previously released tracks including former Nine Inch Nails member Charlie Clouser, producer/mixer Sean Beaven (NIN, Marilyn Manson), and Patrick’s mixes of “Obliteration” as well as Julian Gray’s version of “Burn Out the Sun.” There are also two covers; Patrick offers his take on U2’s “A Sort of Homecoming” and Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy.”
Available on all music streaming platforms August 8th, with exclusive physical versions to be released in the future.
