Richard Patrick’s career is a vision of multifaceted creativity, which he has delivered throughout his 30+ years producing music professionally through his band Filter, various collaborations, side projects, super groups, scoring films and writing for soundtracks.
Patrick’s initial foray into the public eye was as Nine Inch Nails’ first touring guitarist. Patrick had met NIN’s founder Trent Reznor in the late ‘80s in a music store in Cleveland. The two became close friends and then bandmates. Patrick played with the band from 1989-1993, appearing in numerous music videos including “Down in It,” “Head Like a Hole, “Wish” and “Gave Up.”
Filter was formed in Cleveland, OH in 1993 when Patrick left Nine Inch Nails.
Filter’s debut album Short Bus was released in 1995 and went platinum, largely due to the success of their first single “Hey Man Nice Shot.” The follow up, 1999’s Title of Record, also went platinum driven by the huge crossover success of the song “Take a Picture.”
Filter’s third album, The Amalgamut, was released in 2002 spawning such classic songs as “Where Do We Go from Here” and “American Cliché.”
In 2006, the Army of Anyone project – a supergroup led by Patrick with Dean and Robert DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots and Ray Luzier of Korn – came to light, releasing one album and a tour before each went back to their respective bands. Patrick refocused on Filter, releasing Anthems for the Damned in 2008, The Trouble with Angels in 2010, The Sun Comes Out Tonight in 2013 and Crazy Eyes in 2016, and two singles in 2020. Now 20+ years later, Patrick is more prolific than ever.
Celebrating 30 years of Filter, 2023 saw the much-anticipated release of a new Filter album The Algorithm. Singles “Face Down,” “For the Beaten” and “Obliteration” had innovative music videos which garnered attention from new and long-time fans alike.
Additionally, Patrick has entered the world of film scoring. Most notably, he composed music for a documentary that went on to earn an Emmy Award, underscoring his versatility beyond the rock world. That Emmy win highlights Patrick’s ability to craft emotionally resonant compositions that elevate diverse storytelling mediums.
In August 2025, Filter will release The Algorithm: Ultra Edition, a new take on the band’s previous release – remixed and remastered – including 9 additional tracks. Ultra Edition features 4 remixes of previously released tracks including former Nine Inch Nails member Charlie Clouser, producer/mixer Sean Beaven (NIN, Marilyn Manson) and Richard Patrick’s take on “Obliteration” as well as Julian Gray’s version of “Burn Out the Sun” and 2 covers. Filter’s take on U2’s “A Sort of Homecoming” and Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy.”
