LOUDER THAN LIFE: Elfman and Filter's Patrick on Albums, Film Scores...

Danny Elfman and Richard Patrick are doubling down on noise as they age. In a new podcast interview, the composer and Filter frontman discussed separate projects launching in early 2027—Elfman's next album with an accompanying film starring Caleb Landry Jones and Slash, and Filter's The Antidote, which follows 2024's The Algorithm. Both artists reject the mellowing-with-age playbook: Elfman describes his work as a chaotic blend of Oingo Boingo, film scores, and industrial solo material, while Patrick credits Ministry's influence and claims he's "getting heavier" and "meaner" with each record, with his side project A Place to Kill styled as "Skinny Puppy with hooks."
