Oregon's Falxifer is a fresh 2025 act pushing brutal death metal and deathcore into each other with ruthless efficiency. The name itself — Latin for 'sickle-bearer' — points to a sound that has no interest in subtlety.
Family Devotion Murder is a death/groove metal act from Padua, Italy, formed in February 2020 amid the pandemic lockdowns. Their 2021 debut Tentacles channels fury across eleven tracks blending death metal, deathcore, and industrial elements, with lyrics confronting Italian mafia culture beyond regional stereotypes.

Louisiana's Fane operates somewhere in the murky intersection of black metal, death, sludge, and hardcore — a deliberately unclean combination that suits the state's swampy extremity. Formed in 2017, their sound resists easy classification.
Fange is an industrial sludge/death metal band from Rennes, France, formed in 2014. The band merges industrial noise, sludge metal's abrasion, and death metal's heaviness from the Breton capital.
Fangsylvania is a symphonic black/death metal project from Sweden, formed in 2019. Their vampiric name signals horror-themed extreme metal that merges symphonic grandeur with the aggression of both black and death metal traditions.
New Jersey's FangTooth has been a death metal presence since 2011, doing the work without fuss or genre-blending complications. The name promises something with bite, and the band delivers accordingly.
Austin's Fantasm brings death metal to a city better known for its eclectic rock scenes, formed in 2023. They represent a strand of Texas extreme music that's stubbornly committed to the genre's most uncompromising end.
