FILTER have premiered a video for their new single "Obliteration". The band is set to release their much-anticipated new album, 'The Algorithm', on August 25th via Golden Robot Records.

The album, their first in seven years, is a tight conceptual statement heralding career-best songwriting from mastermind Richard Patrick and giving the classic FILTER sound a modern sonic edge.

This Friday, July 14th sees the release of the album's lead single, the speaker-shattering "Obliteration". The epic nature of the track belies its modest, radio-friendly run time. This is three and a half minutes of existential chaos, pure human angst ground out through power chords, heavy 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, "Obliteration" was co-written by Patrick, Sam Tinnesz, and Ian Scott and Mark Jackson (Grandson, Bishop Briggs).
