Milwaukee's Falter has been combining the chaos of grindcore with metalcore's structured intensity since 2011. The pairing creates something with both the brevity and fury of grind and the purposeful aggression of core.
Fanculo Merda is a grindcore band from Cagliari, Sardinia, whose five members play what they call 'grindabestiapunkcore' — a feral collision of grind, punk, and hardcore. Releases including Malessere Esistenziale and Dawson deliver deliberately provocative, unfiltered blasts of extreme noise.
A fresh death-grind project out of Middletown, Delaware, Farm Machinery emerged in 2025 with the blunt, industrial violence the name implies. Their sound grinds genre boundaries down to raw material — equal parts gore-flecked death metal and punishing grindcore.
Cleveland's Fascist Insect have been waging sonic war since 2008, fusing the raw political fury of grindcore with the slow-burn punishment of doom and the street-level aggression of crossover. The combination sounds exactly as volatile as it should.
Fascistectomy is a grindcore band from Torelló, Spain, formed in 2019. The band delivers politically charged grindcore from the Catalan town in the Ter valley.
Fat Actress is a grindcore/death metal band from Cork, Ireland, active since 2011 and delivering rapid-fire extremity from the Rebel City. The project channels grindcore's velocity through an Irish lens.
Fat Ex is a death metal/goregrind project from Jawor in Lower Silesia, Poland, formed in 2023. They deliver the visceral extremity and dark humor characteristic of goregrind from a small town in southwestern Poland.
Fatal is a thrash/death metal/grindcore band from Le Havre, France, formed in 2024. The band fuses thrash, death metal, and grindcore from the Normandy port city.
Fatal Fajitas is a death metal/grindcore band from Reims, France, formed in 2019. The band delivers extreme grind from the Champagne capital.
