Falling Dreams is a doom metal band from Istanbul, Turkey, active since 2010. They deliver the crushing, meditative weight of doom metal from the Bosphorus city, one of the Middle East's most culturally complex metropolises.
Falling Giants is a stoner/sludge/doom band from Ancona, Italy, self-described as 'filthy stoner sludge.' Their 2023 debut Whirlwind Hymns sprawls across seven tracks of low-tuned, atmospheric heaviness, with songs regularly stretching past ten minutes into droning, meditative territory.
Falloch is a band from Glasgow, Scotland, that evolved from folk/post-rock/metal into drone and funeral doom territory. Their stylistic journey reflects a dramatic shift from atmospheric post-rock into crushing, glacially slow extremity.
False God is a black/doom metal band with industrial influences from Szczecin, Poland, formed in 2021. They layer industrial textures over a foundation of black and doom metal, creating an oppressive, mechanized heaviness from the northwestern Polish port city.
Out of Patchogue, New York, False Gods deal in the slow and heavy — doom and sludge metal that crawls forward with deliberate menace. Formed in 2016, they build tension through weight and repetition rather than speed.
Falso Cordero is a stoner/doom metal band from Durango, Mexico, formed in 2019. The band plays slow, heavy, and psychedelic-leaning doom rock, and released their debut album ALTARE in 2019, followed by Experientia.
Famishgod is a doom/death metal band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2014. The band creates crushing, despondent doom/death from the Spanish capital.
Famyne is a doom metal band from Canterbury, England, formed in 2015. The band channels slow, heavy doom from the historic English cathedral city.
Buffalo's Fane works in the overlapping territory of doom and sludge metal, where slow riffs carry enormous weight and the atmosphere is thick enough to feel physical. Since 2017, they've been one of upstate New York's heavier propositions.
