Tulsa, Oklahoma's Falck formed in 2021 at the meeting point of thrash, groove, and traditional heavy metal — a combination that produces the kind of no-nonsense, hard-hitting music that the southern plains seem to generate with ease.
Falcon is a melodic heavy metal/hard rock band from Germany, formed in 2010. The band crafts hook-driven, melodic heavy metal with hard rock sensibilities.
Fort Collins, Colorado's Falcon Haptics has been delivering stoner metal and heavy rock since 2020 — a city at the base of the Rockies that pairs well with the slow, weed-hazed enormity the genre demands.
Falconer is a folk/power metal band from Mjolby in Ostergotland, active since 2001. Over two decades they have established themselves as one of Sweden's most distinctive folk-infused power metal acts, blending medieval Scandinavian folk melodies with driving power metal.
Falecido Morte Lenta is a black/death metal band from Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, formed in 2024. The band explores themes of terror, nihilism, and evil, releasing the album Possessed by Suffering as their debut statement. Operating as an independent underground act, they contribute to the growing extreme metal movement in the Rio de Janeiro state interior.
Faleng is a funeral doom metal project from Yegoryevsk in the Moscow Oblast, formed in 2025. They channel the glacial pace and overwhelming heaviness of funeral doom from the Russian heartland.
Falet is an experimental black metal project from Marche, Italy, launched in 2018 by vocalist/guitarist Federico (Dreeam) and expanded into a five-piece incorporating keyboards, dual guitars, and progressive and ambient textures. Their 2024 full-length Premonition consolidates these influences across six tracks of genre-blurring extreme metal.
Falkenbach is a pioneering viking/black/folk metal project from Düsseldorf, Germany, led by Vratyas Vakyas and active for more than two decades since the mid-1990s. Described as a trailblazer and prime mover of pagan metal, the project blends epic heroism, Germanic mythology, and Norse-tinged folklore with metallic aggression across albums like "...en their medh riki fara...," "Ok nefna tysvar Ty," "Heralding — The Fireblade," and "Asa."
Falkirk is a heavy metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2013. Named after the Scottish city, the band delivers classic heavy metal from the French capital.
