Firunwinta is a one-man Austrian black metal project forged, as the artist describes it, "in the mist of the Karawanken," the mountain range on the Austrian–Slovenian border. The project is operated by Kälte, and their 2022 EP "Innenleben..." and the 2025 EP "Klagelieder der Heimat" deliver raw, stripped-down third-wave black metal with shrill guitars and raspy vocals in the tradition of Ildjarn, Judas Iscariot, and Nargaroth.
Fiume is a black metal project from Italy, formed in 2017. Their work channels the atmospheric and introspective side of Italian black metal, with the project name — Italian for 'river' — suggesting a contemplative, nature-oriented approach to the genre.
Fiume Nero is an anarchist black metal project from Brescia, Italy, founded in June 2008 by guitarist Enna Cancry. Now a duo with vocalist Simon Desecrator, their prolific catalog includes over fifteen years of material spanning the 15th Anniversary best-of compilations and the Lovecraft album series, all delivered through a politically charged, anti-authoritarian lens.
Fiur is a melodic black metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2019. The project blends the darkness of black metal with melodic guitar work from the German capital.
