Filth Premiere New Music Video For "Shell Town"

Filth, the band known for blending deathcore intensity with hip-hop elements, has released the official music video for their track "Shell Town." This latest visual project is now accessible on major platforms including YouTube and Spotify, marking a significant moment for fans of the group.

"Shell Town" is a standout track from Filth's EP titled "Welcome To Shell Town," a work that pays homage to their roots in Shelby, North Carolina. The EP, initially released earlier this year through Crowdkill Records, offers listeners an audio journey that reflects the band's connection to their hometown, blending aggressive soundscapes with lyrical narratives tied to their origins.

The creative direction of the new video was handled by Toddi Babu, a director with a portfolio that includes collaborations with bands such as Saliva and Traitors. His visual approach complements Filth's hybrid sound, enhancing the thematic resonance of "Shell Town" by bringing the band's energetic and raw aesthetic to the screen.

Beyond the release of the video, Filth has announced a series of live performances set for December 2026. The tour, named "A Very Filthy Christmas Tour," will see the band sharing stages with acts Narcotic Wasteland and Killcrown. This tour spans multiple cities across the United States, providing an opportunity for fans to experience the band's dynamic live presence.

Scheduled dates include December 11th in Portage, Indiana at Shenanigans Live, followed by December 12th at Dark Christmas in Battle Creek, Michigan. The itinerary continues with a December 14th show at Milwaukee’s X-Ray Arcade, then moves to Louisville, Kentucky's Mag Bar on December 15th.

Continuing into the Southeast and Midwest, the tour stops at Radio Room in Greenville, South Carolina on December 16th. Additional performances are planned at The Gem in Dayton, Ohio on December 18th, Afterlife in Akron, Ohio on December 19th, and Empire Underground in Albany, New York on December 20th.

Filth's integration of deathcore and hip-hop genres presents a unique niche within the contemporary heavy music landscape, and the "Welcome To Shell Town" EP, along with the new video, underscores the band’s evolving artistic identity. By rooting their work in personal geography and culture, Filth invites listeners to engage with both their sonic innovation and their narrative authenticity.

While detailed insights into the creative process behind the video remain limited, the partnership with director Toddi Babu suggests a continued commitment to high-quality visual storytelling that aligns with the band's musical ethos.

As Filth gears up for the winter tour, the release of "Shell Town" stands as a timely reminder of their growing influence in the genre and their dedication to connecting with audiences through both recorded and live music experiences. Fans and new listeners alike can explore the band's latest offerings via streaming services and look forward to their forthcoming performances across the country.
