LAUNCH PRE-SAVE FOR NEW EP WELCOME TO SHELL TOWN OUT MARCH 6)
KICK OFF “BEASTS OF THE EAST” HEADLINE TOUR
Rising North Carolina heavy hitters FILTH are ushering in their most volatile chapter yet. The band is releasing their brand new single “Outta Pocket“ today, January 30, alongside the official pre-save launch for their upcoming EP, Welcome to Shell Town, due out March 6.
The EP’s title is a nod to the band’s hometown. explains guitarist David Gantt, who says, “Shell Town is us leaning deeper into what shaped us, the music, the environment, and the mindset that came out of growing up in Shelby. This EP is a reflection of where we’re from and why Filth sounds the way it does.”
Born in 2015 as a side project for Gantt, bassist Nathan Pittman, and vocalist Dustin Mitchell (also of InVoker), FILTH quickly took on a life of its own — formed with one mission in mind: To spread their soul smothering heaviness to anyone within striking distance.
Since then, FILTH have built their reputation the hard way — through relentless touring, hyper-dissonant brutality, and an unmistakable fusion of deathcore savagery and hip-hop-infused vocal cadence. roster and cementing their status as one of the genre’s most uncompromising forces.
The band’s momentum exploded last year with their full-length Southern Hostility, amassing tens of millions of streams, led by the viral breakout single “Chin Check,” now surpassing 7 million streams on its own. The record positioned FILTH firmly at the intersection of modern deathcore and street-level aggression, earning them tours Slaughter to Prevail, Lorna Shore, Chelsea Grin, and more.
New single “Outta Pocket” picks up right where Southern Hostility left off — pure hostility, zero restraint, and built for maximum impact in the pit. The track serves as the opening salvo for Welcome to Shell Town, an EP that promises to be FILTH’s most focused, violent, and confident release to date.
To mark the new era, FILTH will also kick off their headline “Beasts Of The East” tour, bringing their chaos directly to fans with support from Blackwater Drowning, Autumn Lies Buried, Comawaves, and Jawjacked
