What began initially as a project by NIN alumnus Richard Patrick has developed into a real band. Formerly the sole composer, Patrick opened himself to collaborating with his bandmates on 1999's breakthrough, TITLE OF RECORD and the overwhelming response paved the way for a true band effort here. Guitarist Geno Lenardo adds dimensions and texture to Patrick's solid foundation, and the result is Filter hitting its creative stride with THE AMALGAMUT.
As the title suggests, this musical mixture boasts impeccable production values (the walls of staggering, layered guitars and pristine drum sounds are to die for). "My Long Walk To Jail" boasts grisly chromatic riffing while "So I Quit" burns with punky verses. Built within Filter's industrial flavored aggro-metal are enough sucker-punch hooks ("Where Do We Go From Here" and "Columind") and power ballad pomp ("The Missing" and "God Damn Me ") to make their contemporaries take notice. A special treat for hardcore Filter fans, enhanced features of THE AMALGAMUT include a companion film, "Plague Of A Thousand Deceptions" (which ties in with the album concept), as well as internet links to exclusive live downloads and behind-the-scenes footage of the band's creative process.
