One of Los Angeles' longer-running death metal acts, Fallen Angel have persisted since 1992 in a city that's churned through thousands of bands — a testament to their commitment to the form. Their longevity in the L.A. underground speaks to a stubborn dedication to death metal's roots.
West Haven, Connecticut's Fallen Angel occupy the thrash/death corridor, active since 1992 and shaped by the dense underground that emerged in the small New England state during metal's early extreme wave. Their sound carries the aggression of both genres without fully surrendering to either.
Fallen Apart is a melodic thrash/death metal and metalcore band from Innsbruck, Tyrol, formed in 2016. The band's four-piece lineup focuses on lyrical themes centered on personal struggle, and they appeared on the Drowned in the Abyss sampler (Vol. II, 2018) with the track "Darkness."
Fallen Apollo is a death metal/deathcore band from Colchester, England, formed in 2013. The band fuses death metal brutality with deathcore's breakdowns from the Essex town.
Laredo, Texas death metal act Fallen Cross have been representing the border city's underground metal scene since 2002. Their music carries the blunt, no-apologies weight expected of Texas death metal, forged far from the state's major urban centers in a city with its own distinct cultural identity.
Chicago's Fallen Empire debuted in 2024, pursuing melodic death metal's marriage of technical aggression and muscular melody within one of America's richest metal cities. Their Bandcamp handle 'newfallenempire' signals a deliberate fresh start, distinguishing them from the genre's established names.
