A Place To Kill featuring Filter’s Richard Patrick share “Ugly World” music video

A Place To Kill, the industrial metal project featuring Filter frontman Richard Patrick and musician-photographer Jim Louvau, have released a new single and music video titled “Ugly World.” The track arrives as another preview of the duo’s next EP.

The upcoming “APTK2” is currently set for release on November 13, 2026. “Ugly World” is its second advance single, following “Keep My Name Out Of Your Mouth,” and the EP will be the project’s second short-form release this year.

The accompanying music video was directed by Tony Aguilera, whose previous credits include work with Stitched Up Heart and Exodus. Fans can watch the new clip below while awaiting further details of “APTK2”.

Driven by the distinctive vocal interplay between Patrick and Louvau, “Ugly World” moves between brooding tension and explosive aggression. Louvau’s visceral delivery and Patrick’s unmistakable vocal presence amplify the song’s sense of urgency, transforming its raw frustration into an unflinching industrial metal anthem.

“Ugly World was the first song we carved out when the official APTK2 recording session started over the summer,” said Louvau. “In true APTK fashion I listened to the track night before and I started writing lyrics for what became the chorus. The way we attack this project has always been a fly by the seat of your pants creative experience that isn’t a typical way of writing and recording and after we completed the song that same day I knew that we were still capable of working this way which is exciting and terrifying at the exact same time.”

With its searing refrain, “This ugly world, why you gotta be so goddamn cold / The future is bought and sold,”the song captures a collective sense of outrage and alienation. Its uncompromising lyrics confront the erosion of trust, unchecked greed and the demand for allegiance from those in power, channeling that frustration into a defiant call for resistance.

Dark, hostile and unapologetic, “Ugly World” pushes A Place To Kill further into their own sonic territory, merging the raw intensity of industrial metal with contemporary electronic production. Heavy enough for metal audiences, electronic enough for the industrial underground and unmistakably A Place To Kill, the track rejects nostalgia in favor of something urgent, volatile and distinctly modern.

The accompanying music video brings the track’s aggressive energy and unsettling atmosphere into a visual dimension, further establishing the duo’s uncompromising creative identity.

Following the release of their first “APTK2” single, “Keep My Name Out Of Your Mouth,” “Ugly World” offers another powerful preview of the forthcoming EP and the duo’s instinctive, no-rules approach to writing and recording.
