A debut EP from A Place To Kill is expected to land this June. That duo consists of Filter vocalist Richard Patrick and photographer/musician/director Jim Louvau. In a recent interview with Rock Shop LIVE, Patrick gave an update on the long-gestating project. He had to following to say about it:
“I’m collaborating with a guy named Jim Louvau. We are doing a new band called A Place To Kill, and it’s gonna come out in June. And it is a wild industrial trip, and really heavy, really fun. It’s called A Place To Kill, and I want my fans to start hearing about it, ’cause he sings and I just sing backup [vocals]. And he sings, and it’s just super heavy, in-your-face industrial music for the apocalypse, basically.
It’s all inspired by the recent political events of the United States and the craziness that’s going on down here… So it’s inspired by just the nuttiness of this world. And it’s heavy and fun, and I’m looking forward to releasing it. I think it comes out either June 4th or June 3rd.”
He continued:
“This is absolutely music for fast driving and destroying a television set, and craziness and anger. It’s the angriest thing I’ve ever done, so it’s cool. The funny thing is you’d think that I’d mellow with age or something, but I’m not mellowing. I’m getting more and more bitter and crazy and harder. I still write the occasional beautiful acoustic song, ’cause I’m not just a heavy guy all the time.
It would be hard to be in a band and, like, that’s all you do, is just dark, heavy. But A Place To Kill is definitely the heaviest thing I’ve ever done, and I’m really looking forward to people hearing it. We’re just gonna release the whole thing, an EP, on either June 3rd or June 4th, whatever it is. I think it’s June 4th.”
The band’s debut single “The Killing Field” was released back in 2023 as the b-side to a 7″ single for Filter‘s track “For The Beaten“.
