A PLACE TO KILL Unleashes Industrial Fury with New Single

By Jason •
Richard Patrick and Jim Louvau are back to unleash sonic devastation with their new track, 'Keep My Name Out Of Your Mouth.'

Industrial metal juggernaut A PLACE TO KILL, spearheaded by the formidable Richard Patrick and the multi-talented Jim Louvau, has just unleashed a beast of a music video for their latest single, 'Keep My Name Out Of Your Mouth.' This blistering track serves as the harbinger of their forthcoming EP, 'APTK2,' set to detonate on November 13, 2026, via Patrick's own No Pulse Records.

The single stands as a brutal testament to the duo's relentless aggression, melding metal with industrial soundscapes that scream confrontation. Layered with punishing rhythms and distorted electronics, Louvau's menacing vocal delivery dances in dark harmony with Patrick's iconic sound. The result is an anthem that does more than just rattle bones; it embodies a defiant war cry against complacency, wrapped in a cloak of crushing production and raw attitude.

Patrick expressed his pride in the new EP, stating, "Super proud of this new EP. It's even heavier and crazier than the first one. The post-apocalypse never sounded so good." Following their critically acclaimed self-titled debut EP, released in June 2026, A PLACE TO KILL is poised to redefine their sonic landscape once more. The debut garnered praise from stalwarts like SiriusXM Octane and Revolver magazine, marking the project as a force to be reckoned with.

In an exclusive insight, Louvau reflected on their creative urgency: "We were so overwhelmed by the response to the first EP that we dashed back into the studio. 'APTK2' is more focused, ferocious, and unapologetically pissed off. It feels like a soundtrack for a world ravaged by greed and betrayal." Their collaboration, which dates back nearly two decades, has evolved into something explosive, with Louvau's backing vocals on FILTER's 2020 track 'Murica' serving as the catalyst for A PLACE TO KILL.

"When I started this band, the music was meant as a tribute to the raw hostility of humanity," Patrick shared. "That's when I knew Jim had to front A PLACE TO KILL." The duo's fusion of industrial trap metal and jagged electronics is a fierce rejection of nostalgia, aiming instead to confront the future with unyielding aggression. As they gear up for live performances, Patrick hints at a collaboration with FILTER, envisioning a show that marries their intense sound with an explosive visual experience.
