Fleshpress is a blackened stoner/sludge/doom metal band from Lahti, Finland, active since 2002. With over two decades of activity, the band has been crafting a dense hybrid of stoner, sludge, and doom metal with blackened overtones.
Fleshroad is a black metal project from Sibiu, Romania, formed in 2020. They channel black metal from one of Transylvania's most atmospheric medieval cities, a walled fortress town in the foothills of the Carpathians.
Flesia is a black metal project from Leipzig, Germany, formed in 2021. The project creates atmospheric black metal from the vibrant Saxon music city.
Fleurs du Mal is a depressive/post-black metal project from Rivne in western Ukraine, formed in 2019. Named after Baudelaire's landmark poetry collection, they channel literary darkness through atmospheric black metal from the Volhynia region.
Flooded Grave is a black metal project from Amsterdam, formed in 2017. They channel atmospheric black metal from the Dutch capital, a city whose below-sea-level geography gives their waterlogged band name a literal resonance.
Started as stoner/sludge, pivoted to thrash and black metal territory. Played their final show at Kick Butt Coffee in July 2022.
Floods is a black metal project from Italy, formed in 2016. They channel atmospheric black metal through a distinctly Italian creative lens, contributing to the country's rapidly expanding extreme metal underground.
Florbela was an antifascist black metal project from Brasília, Brazil, active in 2022 before splitting up. The project contributed the track "Bastardos" to the 2022 Black Metal Rainbows compilation, a collection of queer, trans, and antifascist underground black metal acts released in November of that year. Their inclusion on that internationally distributed compilation placed them within the global wave of politically engaged extreme metal emerging from Brazil in the early 2020s.
