F.P.G.S. is a two-piece experimental black/doom metal project from Bregenz, Vorarlberg, founded in December 2006 by F.P. on guitar, bass, and drum machine, and G.S. on vocals and concept. Their debut album "Am Abgrund" (2008) is a concept record built around the four stages of approaching schizophrenia — Prodromalphase, Exazerbation, Schizophrenes Residuum, and Suizidstadien — mapping the psychological collapse of a young man through bleak, droning compositions.
Lawrence, Kansas band F29 have been pulling down-tuned doom grooves since 2012, stacking the slow, crushing weight of doom metal against heavier groove-driven rhythms that hit like a freight train.
A recent arrival from Salt Lake City, Fabler has been crafting heavy, earth-bound doom and stoner metal since 2023 — slow riffs steeped in desert haze that reward patient listeners.
Face of Despair is a progressive doom/death metal project from Switzerland, formed in 2025. The project merges the introspective complexity of progressive metal with the crushing weight of doom and death metal.

Faceless Envoy is a melodic death metal band from Athens, Greece, blending modern aggression with old-school influences through powerful riffs, melodic leads, and dynamic vocals ranging from growls to clean singing. Their 2026 debut Memoirs Within was mixed and mastered by Bob Katsionis at Sound Symmetry Studio in Athens.
Fitchburg, Massachusetts's Faces of Bayon have been steeped in pure doom metal since 2011, named after the ancient Khmer temple and carrying that same sense of monolithic, time-worn weight in every riff.
Chicago's Faces of the Bog have been constructing psychedelic, progressive sludge-doom since 2016, blending the Windy City's experimental instincts with the heavy emotional weight of doom and sludge.
