Los Angeles black/death act Fallen Soul have been operating in the city's sprawling underground since 2017, where the sheer size of the scene lets extreme metal acts pursue uncompromising sounds without chasing commercial viability. Their dual-genre identity brings both frost and brutality to a city not typically associated with either.
Fallen Spell is a Brazilian raw atmospheric black metal project, formed in 2015, that explores the unconscious mind and dreamlike states through a blend of abrasive noise and melancholic passages. The project released the full-length Retorno às Sombras in 2025, an eight-track album running approximately 38 minutes, alongside earlier recordings including Ausência Suspensa and the Cold Room demo.
Fallen Tyrant is a black metal band from Darmstadt, Germany, formed in 2012. The band conjures dark, aggressive black metal from the Hessian city.
Fallen Voices is an atmospheric/depressive black metal band from Yutz, France, formed in 2014. The band channels despair and atmosphere through black metal from the Moselle town on the Luxembourg border.
Falling into the Ocean is an atmospheric black metal project from Tomsk in western Siberia, formed in 2023. Their evocative name and Siberian origins suggest a contemplative, nature-oriented approach to atmospheric black metal.
Falling Moon is a black metal project from Germany, formed in 2025. As one of the newest black metal projects in the German underground, the band is just beginning to carve out their sonic identity.
Named after a landmark from Middle-earth, Falls of Rauros emerged from Portland, Maine in 2007 and built a reputation for atmospheric black metal deeply entwined with folk melody. Their music has a wild, elemental quality that feels genuinely tied to the cold forests and granite coasts of the Northeast.
Falne is a black metal project from Rogaland in western Norway, formed in 2023. Their name — Norwegian for 'fallen' — anchors their black metal in the brooding, rain-swept landscape of the Stavanger region, one of Norway's key breeding grounds for the genre.
Minneapolis black metal unit False has earned serious underground respect since 2013 for crafting long-form, emotionally devastating compositions that are as much about atmosphere as aggression. Their releases are few but formidable.
