Filter Song Lyrics

Filter is an American industrial rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1993 by Richard Patrick, who brought a heavy, guitar-driven sound that merged industrial metal with alternative rock sensibilities. Their breakthrough single "Take A Picture" from 1999's "Title of Record" became a defining track of late-90s rock with its haunting melody and introspective lyrics, showcasing Patrick's ability to balance aggression with vulnerability. Albums like "Short Bus" and "The Amalgamut" established Filter as masters of crushing, distorted soundscapes while maintaining radio-friendly hooks. Over three decades, the band has evolved from Nine Inch Nails-influenced industrial metal into a more diverse rock act, with Patrick's raw, emotional vocals remaining the constant thread through their extensive catalog of 522 songs.
