Filter have premiered another song off their upcoming record, The Sun Comes Out Tonight. According to front man Richard Patrick, 'Self-Inflicted' tells the story from a mass shooter's point of view.
He also added: “I wanted to try and understand the mass shooter, so I created a character, wrote the lyrics and performed it from the perspective of the shooter … based on the psychology I read that said there was a pattern,” he explains. “For example, an event like Columbine, [looking at it as if] the shooters were the victims and that somehow we or society made them do it — that somehow they were the victims. That this was self-inflicted.”

official Facebook pages relating to the delay in the work of their next studio album. In
his
statement, he claims that frontman Serj Tankian, who has been working on his solo project
of

the
other 2 members of the quartet, Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan have been wanting to move
forward with the project, but Tankian is holding them back.

project forward with, or without, Tankian's aid and would be willing to replace him based
upon the reactions of fans. As of the present point in time, no statement has been

In the wonderful world of never ending drama that is Ronnie Radke's life, the frontman for Falling in Reverse has allegedly given the boot to the current lineup of his band. The reason for this drastic move was apparently uncovered after the self-proclaimed king of the music scene deleted all of his tweets and a trusted source spilled the beans.
From discussions with the drummer, Radke has walked out on everyone due to being enraged at the fact their upcoming tour didn't sell tickets to his expectations. The dates are rumored to be cancelled now and to add insult to injury, Radke has decided to pocket all the profits from the new album as well as past tours, leaving members with nada.
The Radke show will of course go on without a hitch with a whole different roster when the scheduled Warped Tour dates roll around, while everyone else is out of a job. The news is most troubling for guitarist Jacky Vincent, who was from Australia on a work visa, and will most likely be dep ... more
