Multi-platinum industrial alternative group Filter just realized their seventh studio album Crazy Eyes. Led by frontman Richard Patrick, Filter has celebrated two platinum albums (Short Bus and Title of Record) and over 10 million streams. Patrick has a long history in the music world collaborating across the rock, industrial and electronic genres with musicians including Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Robert and Dean Deleo (Stone Temple Pilots), Ray Luzier (Korn), Josh Freese (Devo), John 5 (Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie), The Crystal Method, in addition to acting as a touring guitarist for Nine Inch Nails. Patrick self-produced Filter’s latest Crazy Eyes.

"After programming patches for the G5n, I'm obsessed to see what the kiddies think. I love noise. I love being able to make music relying on equipment. People who say you should be able to play everything on an acoustic guitar—that's bulls*t. I want more tech, more chaos."
