Raleigh's Faith in Ashes has been one of North Carolina's more technically adventurous extreme metal bands since 2009, weaving black and death metal together through progressive structures that give their violence a sense of arc and intention.
Atlanta's Faith in Chaos formed in 2013 and lives up to their name, pushing thrash metal toward genuinely experimental territory — finding the points where tightly coiled aggression can break open into something stranger and harder to categorize.
Faith in Hate is a death metal/hardcore band from Oxford, England, formed in 2010. The band blends death metal heaviness with hardcore's direct energy from the university city.
Faith Malevolent is an experimental black metal project from Szekesfehervar, Hungary, active since 2021 and pushing black metal into unconventional territory. The project operates from the historic coronation city of the Hungarian kings.
San Francisco's Faith No More need little introduction: since their mid-1980s beginnings they redefined what metal and rock could be, and their 2015 reunion confirmed that their restless, genre-dissolving approach to avant-garde alternative metal still has nowhere obvious to land.
Richland's Faith or Fear has been in the thrash metal business since 2009, dealing in the genre's essential vocabulary of fast picking, barked vocals, and the kind of propulsive energy that made thrash indispensable thirty years ago.
Mean Groove Metal from Dallas.
Faithessence is a progressive death metal project from Novara, Italy, born in 2010 from an exploration of mental anguish and philosophical unrest. Their 2017 concept album Circle weaves sci-fi narratives through ten tracks of technically ambitious death metal laced with avant-garde detours.
Faithfully Mine is a progressive metal band from Brunswick, Germany, formed in 2024. As one of the newest progressive metal acts in Lower Saxony, the project explores complex musical landscapes.
