Fungi is a black metal band from Kouvola, Finland, formed in 2020. The band channels the decay and darkness of their mycological namesake through black metal.

Fungoid Stream is a Buenos Aires funeral doom duo — Joseph C. handling all instruments and Simon O. on vocals — whose entire discography draws from the H.P. Lovecraft universe, with lyrics taken directly from Lovecraft's writings. The band released five albums over two decades, from the debut "Celaenus Fragments" (2004) through "Prehuman Shapes" (2014) and "The Winds Among the Stars" (2019), concluding with the farewell album "A Nightmare and a Cataclysm" in October 2024, accompanied by a 4-CD anniversary box set.

Funny Farm is a thrash metal and crossover band from the Inderoy/Trondheim area of central Norway, active since 2005. Starting in crossover thrash and evolving toward groove/thrash metal, their irreverent name contrasts with the serious heaviness of their two-decade output.

Funus is a black metal band from Mor, Hungary, active since 2020, whose Latin name means 'funeral.' The project delivers dark, ritualistic black metal from the Veszprem County of western Hungary.
