Seattle thrash act Fallen Angels formed in 2016, drawing on the Pacific Northwest's strong tradition of aggressive, underground-rooted metal. Their approach is rooted in the Bay Area thrash blueprint, filtered through the gritty, rain-soaked character of the Seattle scene.
Fallen Apart is a melodic thrash/death metal and metalcore band from Innsbruck, Tyrol, formed in 2016. The band's four-piece lineup focuses on lyrical themes centered on personal struggle, and they appeared on the Drowned in the Abyss sampler (Vol. II, 2018) with the track "Darkness."
Seattle's Fallen Idols have been working the death/thrash seam since 2012, a decade-plus run in a city better known for its extreme metal output than crossover appeal. Their sound is rooted in the bruising mid-era thrash/death style where speed and groove share equal billing.
Sacramento's Fallen Man fuse industrial, thrash, and death metal into something mechanical and ferocious, active since 2015 in a Northern California city that's produced some of metal's most uncompromising acts. The industrial thread runs cold through their sound, adding processed menace to the traditional metallic assault.
Washington state's Fallen Martyr have spent over a decade developing a progressive death/thrash sound that prizes structural complexity alongside aggression, formed in 2010. Their music moves through unexpected shifts in tempo and texture, refusing to settle into the predictable patterns of either genre.
Fallen Nation is a speed/thrash metal band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2017. They deliver the relentless velocity of classic speed and thrash metal from the Russian capital.
Santa Rosa, California's Fallen Prey are fresh to the scene, forming in 2025 with a straightforward thrash agenda in a Northern California county with deep roots in aggressive music. They're early in their run, but the Sonoma County metal tradition gives them plenty of precedent to draw from.
Fallen Prophet is a thrash metal band from Lodz, Poland, formed in 2023. They bring high-speed thrash metal aggression to the central Polish industrial city, contributing to Lodz's growing reputation as a hub for extreme music.
Albuquerque's Fallen Prophets deliver death/thrash from the high desert Southwest, a scene that has long sustained underground metal despite its geographic distance from major coastal hubs. Formed in 2016, their sound mines the aggression of both genres to forge something heavy enough to match New Mexico's arid, unforgiving terrain.
