Furcht is a depressive black metal project from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, formed in 2020. The project — whose name means "fear" — channels anxiety and dread through bleak DSBM.
Furfur is a black metal band from Saint-Nazaire, France, formed in 2019. Named after the Great Earl of Hell in demonology, the band channels demonic black metal from the Loire-Atlantique port.
Furious Flame is a black/death metal project from Moscow, Russia. They deliver the incendiary aggression suggested by their name, channeling black and death metal ferocity from the Russian capital.
Furis Ignis is a black metal project from Germany, formed in 2022. The project's Latin name — meaning "raging fire" — captures the incendiary intensity of their black metal.
Furor Brevis is a black metal/hardcore band from Occitanie, France, formed in 2019. The band's Latin name — meaning "brief fury" — captures the intense, short-burst fusion of black metal and hardcore.
Furuvgerendufuroval is a black/sludge metal project from Uzhhorod in the far western Transcarpathian region of Ukraine, formed in 2021. Their deliberately unpronounceable name and border-region origins — Uzhhorod sits at the junction of Ukraine, Slovakia, and Hungary — signal the unconventional character of their genre-blending extreme metal.
Furva Ambiguitas is a black/funeral doom metal project from Voronezh in southern Russia, formed in 2013. Their Latin name — meaning 'dark ambiguity' — captures the opaque, suffocating character of their funeral doom mixed with black metal from the Central Black Earth region.
Furze is an experimental black metal and black/doom project from Trondheim, Norway, active since 1998. Over more than twenty-five years, the project has carved out a singular niche in the Norwegian underground, pushing black metal into experimental and psychedelic territory far from the genre's orthodox center.
Fustilarian is a black metal project from Lisbon, Portugal, formed in 2021. Their Shakespearean insult of a name — meaning a fat, worthless person — brings a literary edge to their Lisbon-based black metal.
