Guest 2020 Top 10 Release Listing - PK from Iron Bonehead Productions.

Article posted by Trevor Proctor.

With two previous posts from PK for The Lair of Filth (an interview with myself in 2015 + a guest Top 10 listing last year) remaining two of the site's most successful articles I was never in any doubt that I'd ask PK to submit another Top 10 for 2020.

Trevor Proctor's Top 25 Albums of 2020.

 

Year end lists aren't for everyone, as I've mentioned previously some love them and others hate them but whether you like them or not there's no doubt they are a useful way of hearing new music and maybe catching up on releases you've missed during the year.

Thankfully, despite the obvious hardships associated with 2020, our underground has continued to survive during the year. 

Although gigs and tours were cancelled one after the other we have still been spoilt for choice when it comes to underground music. Having said that, harder than usual times have affected labels and artists alike, so please feel free to follow any red links in this article where you will be able to support either the artist or label.

Filthy Giveaway - First Love Blu-ray/DVD

Today will see the home entertainment release, on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, of Takeshi Miike's First Love. It is being released by Well Go USA and we have one copy to giveaway to one lucky reader.

First Love is absolutely mental. It's laugh out loud funny at times, as violent as you might expect and is full of crazy characters. All in all it is 2 hours of your time well spent!

'When a duplicitous scheme by the low-level yakuza, Kase (Shota Sometani) goes hilariously wrong, a terminally ill boxer, Leo (Masataka Kubota), and a disturbed drug addicted call girl, Monica (Sakurako Konishi), find themselves innocently caught in the crosshairs of two warring gangs. Over the course of the increasingly ludicrous night, the two fall passionately in love, while the hail of bullets and blood fall quietly in the background.'

To be in with a chance of winning just shoot an email to lairoffilth@hotmail.com, with First Love as the title, and tell us your favorite Miike movie. Easy.

Giveaway closes on February 14th, because it's Valentine's Day, and is open to U.S. residents only. One winner will be contacted after this date.

Guest 2019 Top 10 Release Listing - SS From Cyclopean Eye Productions.

When I initially considered hosting guest album/release listings SS from Cyclopean Eye Productions was one of a few people that came to mind instantly.

Jude Felton's Top 25 Albums of 2019.

2018 was the first year, in quite a few, where I neglected to post my top albums list. This was mainly due to time and other external issues, but it was a shame because last year slayed, in terms of music.

Guest 2019 Top 25 Album Listing - Ally Ripley. (The Lash)

To date the Lair of Filth has hosted two 2019 album/release listings - my Top 25 Album Listing and a Guest Top 10 Release Listing from Iron Bonehead Productions' PK.

When I came up with the idea of hosting guest listings a few names instantly came to mind and one of those was Ally Ripley (The Lash)  - a name you may not be familiar with but if you went to any of the main underground festivals or shows in the past year there's a fair chance you've bumped into him for a beer or six at some stage.

Guest 2019 Top 10 Release Listing - PK From Iron Bonehead Productions.

Guest Top 10 Release Listing -  PK From Iron Bonehead Productions.

When I initially considered hosting guest year-end listings the first person I thought of was PK, the founder of what's easily one of the greatest underground labels of all time - Iron Bonehead Productions. 

My interview with PK in 2015 remains one of the most popular interviews I've hosted on The Lair of Filth so, who better to give us his take on last year's releases?

Trevor Proctor's Top 25 Albums of 2019.

Year end listings aren't for everyone - some love them, others loathe them but whether you're a lover or a loather they still make for quite interesting reading as no two listings are ever the same. 

2019 was especially kind to us in terms of albums with some serious music being released worldwide. The fact my long list for this had to be whittled down from over sixty to twenty five stands testament to the fact our underground is as productive as ever, especially when I consider the number of very high standard albums that unfortunately had to be omitted. Also, the Nyogthaeblisz album will feature on 2020's album listing as it was released at the end of December and at the time of writing this article no versions were available.
