Filter will return later this year with a brand new album entitled The Trouble With Angels, an album in which lead singer Richard Patrick says is a return to the band’s early 90’s roots.
As for a label home for the album, Patrick says the band has not signed a new label deal yet, but that does not mean there has not been interest.
“We have several major label offers right now, and we are going through everything with a fine tooth comb,” said Patrick. “Everyone who’s heard this record has made us an offer, which speaks to how good this album is, and that is an amazing place to be in.”
As for a release date and plans for touring, Patrick says that all depends on how soon the band signs a deal.
“Everybody wants this thing to come out this summer, but you can’t rush the business end of it, especially how insane this business has become,” said Patrick. “When the album does come out, I’d love to tour with Alice In Chains, A Perfect Circle, or my old friends from The [Smashing] Pumpkins. A summer tour would be amazing, but I don’t think we’ll be able to do a lot of the summer stuff, because we’ll hopefully be putting a record out around the same time.”
