F.A.M. is a death metal/grindcore band from Wroclaw, Poland, formed in 2013. They bring the raw aggression of grindcore and death metal to the vibrant underground scene of Lower Silesia's capital city.
F.O.A.M. arrived on the Evansville, Indiana underground in 2024 fusing the blastbeat brutality of grindcore with power metal's melodic ambition — a deliberately jarring combination that keeps listeners off-balance.
Flagstaff, Arizona's Face Pulp waste no time — formed in 2022, they grind through death metal, grindcore, and hardcore punk in the most uncompromising way the high desert allows.
Out of Ashtabula, Ohio, Face Rot have been running blackened grindcore since 2013 — short, vicious songs that swap grind's antisocial energy for a colder, more nihilistic black metal atmosphere.
Wilmington, North Carolina's Faceless Muck have spent over a decade in the death/grind underground since 2010, building a catalog of low-fi brutality that feeds off the coastal South's isolation.
Facepalm Death is a grindcore and death 'n' roll band from Sofia, Bulgaria, formed in 2022, featuring Slaveyko on vocals, Yavor and Kamen on guitars, Pavel on bass, and Mads on drums. They describe their sound as "fast ethno-stoner psychedelic prost-grindcore," blending breakneck tempos with stoner and psychedelic elements, as heard on their self-titled release and a three-way split with Rugged and Outrage.
Facial Abuse is a grindcore/death metal band from Vasteras in central Sweden, formed in 2013. They deliver punishing, short-form extremity from the Malaren Valley industrial city.
Eugene, Oregon's Facing Extinction have been blasting through grindcore since 2013, an act whose very name and Pacific Northwest home seem to inform a sound built around urgency and short, devastating bursts.
Orange Park, Florida's Factory of Ghouls have been running the death metal and grindcore underground since 1998, one of the region's longest-tenured acts in extreme metal's most relentless corners.
