Flying Dirty Clouds is a grindcore/death metal band from Istanbul, Turkey, formed in 2018. Their surreal name matches the chaotic, genre-bending character of their grindcore from the Bosphorus city.
Foetophile is a goregrind project from Catania, Sicily, formed in 2024. They represent the newest wave of Sicilian extreme metal, dealing in the deliberately repulsive, medically themed sonic violence that defines the goregrind subgenre.
Foible Instinct is a death metal/grindcore band from Kyiv, Ukraine, active since 2008. Nearly two decades of extreme metal from the Ukrainian capital have established them as a veteran act in the country's underground.
Foken Rotten Noise is an old school grindcore and death metal band from Santiago, Chile, with members drawn from various corners of the Chilean underground metal scene. The band released "Wastedlands" in 2013 through Thanatology Productions in a limited run of 500 CDs, followed by "The Finest Shit" in 2015, both albums channeling raw, anarchic energy with lyrical themes of anti-politics, anti-greed, and personal freedom.
Food Exit is a grindcore/crust punk trio from Florence, Italy, formed in 2017, whose members ironically identify as 'McDonald's employees.' Their debut EP Increase Your Size! packs nine tracks into roughly seven minutes of fast-food-themed grindcore chaos.
Force Fed Farm Animals (FFFA) is a death metal and grindcore band from Vienna, Austria, who describe themselves as making "stinky music about animals." Their 2025 release "Brutally Molested Lemon Cake" carries on the short, blasting goregrind tradition with an irreverent animal-rights-adjacent absurdism.
Forced to Decay was a death metal/grindcore band from Solingen, Germany, active from 1994 until 2001. Over their nine-year run, they played more than 350 shows and released three CDs/LPs alongside several other recordings, with members going on to form The Other and Kontrolle after the band's dissolution.
Forest Hum is a death metal/grindcore band from Saint Petersburg, Russia, formed in 2016. Their nature-derived name contrasts with the violent extremity of their grindcore and death metal from the Baltic metropolis.
Forest of Trys is a raw black metal, grindcore, and noise project from Kaunas, Lithuania, active since 2016. Their hybrid approach collapses the boundaries between black metal rawness, grindcore violence, and noise experimentation in the Lithuanian underground.
