Fallen from Grace is a funeral doom/death metal band from Vladivostok on Russia's Pacific coast, formed in 2015. They deliver crushing funeral doom from the easternmost edge of the European metal tradition, where Russia meets the Pacific Ocean.
Fallen Horizon is a doom/death metal band from Minsk, Belarus, formed in 2022. The band explores the heavy, despondent territory where doom and death metal converge, emerging from the Belarusian underground scene.
Seattle's Fallen Idols have been working the death/thrash seam since 2012, a decade-plus run in a city better known for its extreme metal output than crossover appeal. Their sound is rooted in the bruising mid-era thrash/death style where speed and groove share equal billing.
Fallen Joy is a melodic death metal band from Joinville-le-Pont, France, formed in 2010. The band delivers emotionally driven melodic death metal from the eastern Parisian suburb.
Sacramento's Fallen Man fuse industrial, thrash, and death metal into something mechanical and ferocious, active since 2015 in a Northern California city that's produced some of metal's most uncompromising acts. The industrial thread runs cold through their sound, adding processed menace to the traditional metallic assault.
Washington state's Fallen Martyr have spent over a decade developing a progressive death/thrash sound that prizes structural complexity alongside aggression, formed in 2010. Their music moves through unexpected shifts in tempo and texture, refusing to settle into the predictable patterns of either genre.
Chicago's Fallen n Corrupted push death metal into experimental territory, founded in 2021 with an apparent interest in breaking the genre's conventions rather than faithfully executing them. The 'experimental' tag is a meaningful one here — a signal that riff logic alone won't constrain where this band goes.
Albuquerque's Fallen Prophets deliver death/thrash from the high desert Southwest, a scene that has long sustained underground metal despite its geographic distance from major coastal hubs. Formed in 2016, their sound mines the aggression of both genres to forge something heavy enough to match New Mexico's arid, unforgiving terrain.
Fallen Saints is a death metal band from Sevelten, Germany, formed in 2020. The band produces heavy, uncompromising death metal from the Lower Saxony countryside.
