Faustcoven is a black/doom metal project from Trondheim, Norway, founded in 2002 by Gunnar Hansen and drawing openly from Black Sabbath and Bathory.

Fear Funeral is a death metal trio from Liguria, Italy, active since 1998 under the banner of 'Sex N' Violence.' Across a prolific discography spanning titles like The Reign of the Illusion, Angoscia, and Revenge, they blend death metal ferocity with punk attitude and a darkly theatrical streak.

Fehler is a sludge/doom metal and hardcore band from 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, formed in 2019. Their German-derived name — meaning 'error' or 'flaw' — matches the abrasive, confrontational character of their sludge-soaked hardcore from the North Brabant capital.
