Faith Ablaze is a metalcore band from The Hague in the Netherlands, formed in 2015. They channel the energy and intensity of modern metalcore from the Dutch governmental capital, contributing to the city's growing heavy music presence.
New York's Faith and Fire sit at the harder end of hard rock and heavy metal, a sound built around anthemic conviction and strong riffs; the band formed in 2021 with clear reverence for the music that came before them.
Wilmington, North Carolina's Faith Collapsing pull from power metal's soaring melodicism, thrash's aggression, and groove metal's locked-in heaviness all at once, a combination they've been refining since getting together in 2022.
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.
