Filter’s New Album Is “Pretty Much Almost Done”
During a recent interview with Matt Bingham of Z93, Filter frontman Richard Patrick offered an update on the band’s new album “The Antidote.” According to him, the effort is “pretty much almost done.”
Patrick said the following:
“‘The Antidote’ is pretty much almost done. I’m cutting it down from, like, 18 songs to probably 12. It’s a hard decision because there’s so many great songs on the record. But it’s in the final stages, and I’m super proud of it. It’s really a great record. It’s probably gonna come out this fall.”
He also discussed the writing process:
“It’s weird. There’s a song called ‘Snakes In The Grass’, which was entirely by myself. And then there’s songs that I write with Sam Tinnesz. He’s a good friend of mine; he’s one of my best friends. And we wrote a song called ‘Hell In My Head’ as well as another one called ‘Panic Mode’. I just love working with Sam. He’s just a great lyricist. He’s a great songwriter. And I do love collaboration. That’s why I do guest vocal spots with other people. And any opportunity to just make some great art is kind of my M.O.”

Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine Confirms Release Date For New Memoir “In My Darkest Hour”
Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine has confirmed that his new memoir, “In My Darkest Hour,” will be released on September 8. As previously reported, that book will focus on the frontman’s cancer battle.
Da Capo Executive Editor Ben Schafer commented:
“’In My Darkest Hour’ is Dave Mustaine at his most revealing, vulnerable, and true. With lacerating honesty and soulful reflection, he speaks to the universal human experience of facing serious illness and how it changes a person, their family and friends, and one’s relationship with creativity. Da Capo is proud to publish Dave Mustaine’s most unblinking memoir to date, one that isn’t only for Megadeth fans.”
Mustaine added:
“One of most harrowing experiences of my adult life has been my seven-year journey through cancer treatment and onward into remission. This story is considerably more than just go to the doctor, get diagnosed, get treatment and hopefully I live happily ever after. This was a journey of me saving myself, staying alive, keeping my family together, and continuing to make music through it all.”
Here’s a synopsis:
“From King of Metal Dave Mustaine, a powerful reflection on the harsh truths and raw realizations that can only come from confronting death.
Dave Mustaine is no stranger to pain and suffering. He battled demons all his life—including an alcoholic father, addiction, and black magic—and turned fifty-eight believing he’d survived the worst. But in 2019, Mustaine was forced to face the loss of his instantly recognizable voice and the disintegration of his musical talent. Diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma at the back of his tongue, his entire career—and possibly his life—was about to end.
For Mustaine, it was one more opportunity to fight like hell.
‘In My Darkest Hour’ takes readers from the treatment room to the studio as Mustaine chronicles how his diagnosis inspired him to take up the pen and guitar pick, going from radiation and chemotherapy appointments straight into hours-long recording sessions, resulting in Megadeth’s sixteenth studio album, ‘The Sick, The Dying…and the Dead!’ Along the way, Mustaine details how confronting his own mortality brought him closer to his family, taught him how to ask for help, strengthened his faith, and challenged the vulnerability of his art.
Filled with perseverance, hope, and the determination to never let the bastards grind you down, ‘In My Darkest Hour’ is a masterful portrait of a Dave Mustaine that the world has yet to see, and serves as a moving reminder that even our most invincible heroes are human.”
