Danny Elfman and Filter frontman Richard Patrick discussed upcoming music and film-score work in an interview with Kyle Meredith recorded backstage at Louisville’s Louder Than Life. Elfman said his next album and accompanying film are expected at the beginning of 2027; Patrick said Filter’s The Antidote is targeted for the first quarter of 2027.
Danny Elfman and Filter frontman Richard Patrick have discussed upcoming records, film-score work and their increasingly heavy musical approaches in a new interview with Kyle Meredith, recorded backstage at Louisville’s Louder Than Life festival. Elfman said his next album and a companion film are due at the beginning of 2027, while Patrick said Filter’s The Antidote is targeted for the first quarter of that year.
In the Consequence podcast interview, Elfman described his forthcoming record as a follow-up to Big Mess, extending the blend of concert music, film work and abrasive solo material heard in his recent live performances. He said the album will be paired with a film featuring Caleb Landry Jones, Slash and Thundercat, and characterized the project as “kind of a fanboy David Lynch homage.” The interview did not provide a release date or further plot details.
Elfman also discussed scoring Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire, describing an experimental process involving harp, bass and percussion. His live sets, he said, combine material from Oingo Boingo, his film scores and his solo work into what he called “a mishmash of my brain.” The interview also touched on his return to performing, which he linked to an experience at Coachella that renewed his interest in taking the stage.
Patrick said Filter’s The Antidote developed out of momentum from the band’s previous album, The Algorithm, and will balance aggressive passages with more melodic material. He also spoke about A Place to Kill, his industrial project, which he summed up as “Skinny Puppy with hooks.” Patrick connected Filter’s industrial sound to Ministry and recalled his friendship with Al Jourgensen dating to his time around Nine Inch Nails.
Two Different Routes to Heavier Music
The interview offers an early look at two established musicians’ next projects, with both describing new work that keeps heavy sounds central while making room for other forms. Elfman’s planned album-film pairing links his solo music to a cinematic project, while Patrick’s comments point to Filter’s continued movement between industrial force and melody.
For listeners, the dates provide a broad window for when to expect the records, but not a confirmed day of release. Elfman’s film is also part of the announcement: its named cast gives the project a recognizable creative lineup, though the interview does not establish how the film will connect to the album beyond being an accompanying work.

Projects Behind the Interview
The conversation was recorded backstage at Louder Than Life in Louisville and published by Consequence as part of the Kyle Meredith podcast. It centers on upcoming work rather than a newly released album or an announced tour. Both artists spoke about sustaining creative output across different settings: Elfman discussed solo performance and film scoring, while Patrick described work with Filter and A Place to Kill.
Elfman’s next release follows Big Mess, the album named in the interview as the point of comparison. Patrick’s The Antidote follows The Algorithm. The source report identifies early 2027 as the planned period for both records, but gives no confirmed track lists, label details or exact dates.

Release Plans Still Lack Dates
The reported windows for the albums remain targets rather than exact release dates: Elfman’s is expected at the beginning of 2027, and Filter’s is targeted for the first quarter. The interview provides no confirmation of final schedules, track lists, labels or single releases. Details about Elfman’s accompanying film—including its story, director, format and release plan—were not specified in the source report.
The report also does not give a release timetable for A Place to Kill or identify any planned film-score release tied to Patrick’s comments. Further details may be announced later.

Awaiting Album and Film Details
The next expected milestone is the release of Elfman’s album at the beginning of 2027 and Filter’s The Antidote during the first quarter, subject to any schedule changes. Neither artist supplied a specific date in the interview, so announcements of release dates, singles or track listings would clarify the plans.
Elfman’s companion film is also awaiting further information. Consequence directs listeners to the Kyle Meredith episode on podcast platforms and its video version; the source report gives no additional interview or project announcement date.
