Faded Remembrance is a gothic/doom/death metal band from Gyor, Hungary, active since 2023 and blending gothic atmospheres with doom and death metal heaviness. The project channels the melancholy of the Danube city into dark, brooding metal.
Faded Serena is a gothic/doom/death metal band from Istanbul, Turkey, active since 2003. Over two decades they have merged gothic atmosphere with doom and death metal from the transcontinental Turkish metropolis, making them one of the country's longest-running extreme metal acts.
Fading Bliss is a gothic doom/death metal band from Saint-Nicolas near Liège, Belgium, active since 2009. They released their debut full-length "From Illusion to Despair" in 2013 through Danish label Mighty Music, followed by their second album "Journeys in Solitude" in 2018 via Malpermesita Records after a period of lineup changes.
Out of Morgantown, West Virginia, Fading Embers arrived in 2023 with the slow, mountainous heaviness that doom metal demands — a young band in a state whose industrial rust and Appalachian weight seem tailor-made for the genre.
Fading Sun is a funeral doom/death metal band from Minsk, Belarus, formed in 2010. Their single extended track "Yawning Void" — clocking in at over 18 minutes — exemplifies their approach to slow, crushing, atmospheric death doom.
Evansville, Indiana's Faerie Ring has been blending doom and stoner metal since 2018, bringing heavy, psych-laced riffs and an occult-folk sensibility to a part of the Midwest not always associated with the heavier end of the spectrum.
Los Angeles's Faetooth occupies the intersection of doom, sludge, and post-metal — a trio of subgenres that reward patience and reward volume — building their layered, emotionally heavy sound since forming in 2019.
Ann Arbor's Fair Game started as a hard rock and heavy metal act before evolving toward psychedelic doom metal — a trajectory that reflects both the band's growth since 2018 and the fertile experimental energy of that Michigan college town.
Fairy Duster is a doom/post-metal band from Fürth, Germany, formed in 2014. After releasing the impressive "KARASëA" EP in 2014 and then going quiet for years, they returned heavier than before with their 2025 debut album "Far from Light and Time," featuring artwork by renowned painter Mariusz Lewandowski.
