Fänggen is a black metal band from Lower Austria, formed in 2014, whose 2016 album "Geist des Waldes" — recorded and mixed in 2015 and released as a limited CDR with a conifer branch by Narbentage Produktionen — draws heavily on the atmosphere of dark, misty Central European forests. The four-track record represents a nature- and pagan-oriented underground black metal aesthetic rooted firmly in the Austrian woodland landscape.
Fäulnis is a black metal band from Hamburg (later Flensburg), Germany, active since 2007. Known for raw black metal vibes with frosty riffs and screams, the band released the album "Cholerik Eine Aufarbeitung" and features members who also play in Fvneral Fvkk and Voidhaven.
Faüst is a thrash metal band from Prague, Czech Republic, formed in 2020 after a series of prior iterations — Snow Landslide (2013–2014), Coldblooded Fish (2014–2018), and CBF (2018–2020) — and released their self-titled debut album in September 2020 at Dödsmord Studio in Prague. The quartet, led by guitarist and vocalist Kryštof Eichler, subsequently released Tinnitus Inquisition, a more fully realized statement of their aggressive, Teutonic-influenced thrash approach. The band represents the continuation of a Prague extreme metal lineage that spans nearly a decade of lineup and name evolutions.
