Today spin.com has reported that platinum-selling alternative-industrial rock band Filter have announced a limited edition 7″ vinyl featuring their latest single “For the Beaten” which will be available in early 2023 by Golden Robot Records. The exclusive 7″ vinyl will be numbered for authenticity and available in two colors – purple and gold – with very limited stock available.
“For the Beaten” is the A-side described by Filter founder Richard Patrick as “dynamic, dark, and heavy, just like the moment we are in.” The track was met with great affection from eager fans and critics alike who had waited two years to hear what was next for Filter. “For the Beaten” was put out in October following Patrick joining former and current Nine Inch Nails band members in Cleveland for a NIN surprise reunion show.
The B-side is where things get even more interesting. “The Killing Field” is the debut track from A Place To Kill, a new industrial trap metal project from Patrick and vocalist Jim Louvau. This 7” is the only place to hear APTK at the moment.
“For The Beaten”/‘The Killing Field” 7″ vinyl is available for pre-order now, with limited stock availability and pre-ordering is the best chance of getting your hands on this Filter collector’s item.

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 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.”
