Filter has been on hiatus for the last five years, during which time frontman Richard Patrick enjoyed a successful run with supergroup Army of Anyone featuring Stone Temple Pilots‘ Dean and Robert DeLeo and drummer Ray Luzier.

Patrick said the experience made him long for Filter.

“I’ve always loved collaborating with other people, but the stuff I do on my own is the most fulfilling. It was an amazing experience to be in a group with such talents as Robert, Dean and Ray, but I felt I had some unfinished business with Filter. And I think they understood that. Filter will always be my legacy.”

Anthems is due May 13 on indie label Pulse Recordings – Patrick says, “I’d rather not subject myself to the insanity of the major label system at this point in time” – and was produced by Josh Abraham (Slayer, 30 Seconds to Mars, Velvet Revolver, Staind, Courtney Love).

The album’s first single, “Soldiers of Misfortune, was inspired by a letter from a Filter fan who enlisted in the Army reserves to get his college tuition paid off. In his final year of college, he was shipped off to Iraq where he died from a rocket attack and small arms fire after just a few days of duty.
