Filter Announce First Album In Seven Years, Share ‘Obliteration’

Filter is back! The band have announced their new album, The Algorithm, out August 25th marking their first in seven years.

As a preview of what’s to come, the band have shared new single “Obliteration.” Produced by frontman Richard Patrick and longtime collaborator Brian Virtue. German-based filmmaker Atanas Shopski helmed the animated lyric video.

“This was a great challenge for me,” Shopski said. “One that pushed me to discover my limits, creatively, artistically, mentally… We decided to go for an element of hope in this world full of despair and show the struggle of the innocent with the merciless surroundings. We follow this girl, who is the last survivor after the obliteration of her world, on her dark adventure in search for other life.”

Watch the video below.

“Obliteration” follows previous single “Face Down.”
