I don't understand why everyone compares them to Nine Inch Nails. Sure some of them once worked in NIN and probably learned the odd trick or two, but they're really quite different.
Filters guitarist was in NIN. "Learned a trick or two" is not really the right description. He was a contributor to NINs sound, and took his contributions into Filter.

I've been listening to NINs last double album a lot as well over the last two days, although I only seem to have the "left" side... bummer. Can't find the other one. Anyhow the 'spirit' of the music is very similar. The moods and dark energy. Nihlism is found in both bands. This is despite variances in production, melodies and topics. Incredible really. Such similarity crossing over such differences.

Music truly is a language of the soul.

I worry about Trent Reznors soul....
