Filthy Review - 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

Review by Jude Felton

Way back when I was a wee lad, one of the first books I recall ever reading was JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit (or there and back again). It was a fairly well-worn copy that my father owned, and no doubt still does. I couldn’t tell you when it was printed, suffice to say that it was/is probably a lot older than you or I. This of course lead to reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which were equally as old but hardcopies, and I was hooked. Middle Earth was a glorious place and, thanks to Peter Jackson, it still is.

Filthy Music Review - 'Man Gremmes Kan: On a Pulpit of Souls'

Man Gremmes Kan – On a Pulpit of Souls (2013)

Glorious North Productions

Review by Jude Felton

Back in the day, tape trading was the best way to get ahold of new and exciting music; stuff that wasn’t necessarily available in your local independent record store. Now, while trading does still exist, and even a few records stores do survive, it’s the evil internet that drives forward the discovery of new artists. Agree or disagree, but it is a fact, and one of the best ways, I have found, is through the gem that is Bandcamp. That is how I came to stumble upon this snarling abomination of a tape.

Filthy Music Review - 'Pyrrhon: The Mother of Virtues'

Pyrrhon – The Mother of Virtues (2014)

Relapse Records 

Review by Trevor Proctor

New York progressive, twisted, extreme death metallers Pyrrhon (pronounced peer on) have just released their debut album on their new label, Relapse Records. The Mother of Virtues is the follow up to 2011’s well received release An Excellent Servant but a Terrible Master; an album released via the Selfmadegod label to much critical acclaim.
