Falecido Morte Lenta is a black/death metal band from Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, formed in 2024. The band explores themes of terror, nihilism, and evil, releasing the album Possessed by Suffering as their debut statement. Operating as an independent underground act, they contribute to the growing extreme metal movement in the Rio de Janeiro state interior.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota's Fall has been playing death and thrash metal since 2011, representing an isolated but tenacious outpost of extremity in a region where metal scenes survive on sheer stubbornness and shared conviction.
Portland, Texas's Fall works in melodic death metal, bringing the genre's interplay of aggression and melody to a small South Texas coastal town — a long way from the Gothenburg origins of the style but no less committed to it.
Charleston, West Virginia's Fall Before Your Creator brings blackened deathcore's overwhelming density to Appalachia since 2011, fusing the extremity of black and death metal with the breakdown-driven structure of deathcore into something unrelenting.
Portland, Oregon's Fall from Grace has been working the groove and thrash metal intersection since 2018, a city with a long history of heavy music providing the backdrop for riff-forward, rhythmically locked playing.
Fall of a Season was a metalcore and death metal band from Genthin in eastern Germany, founded in 2001 by five friends. Over their six-year run they released an EP, a split CD with Brazilian band Xconfrontox, and the 2004 debut album "Decades in a Bleeding World," playing more than 300 shows across Germany and Europe before disbanding in 2007.
Fall of April is a melodic death metal band from Munich, Germany, formed in 2023. The band brings melodic death metal to the Bavarian capital's thriving heavy music scene.
Dayton, Ohio's Fall of Babylon has been playing melodic death metal since 2023, adding melody and compositional ambition to the genre's core heaviness in a Rust Belt city that has quietly nurtured extreme metal for years.
Pittsburgh's Fall of Babylon takes death metal's brutality and runs it through a groove metal sensibility — heavy, locked-in, and hard-hitting in a way that suits a city whose steel-town bones have always resonated with heavy music since 2023.
