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.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota's Fall has been playing death and thrash metal since 2011, representing an isolated but tenacious outpost of extremity in a region where metal scenes survive on sheer stubbornness and shared conviction.
Portland, Texas's Fall works in melodic death metal, bringing the genre's interplay of aggression and melody to a small South Texas coastal town — a long way from the Gothenburg origins of the style but no less committed to it.
Charleston, West Virginia's Fall Before Your Creator brings blackened deathcore's overwhelming density to Appalachia since 2011, fusing the extremity of black and death metal with the breakdown-driven structure of deathcore into something unrelenting.
Fall Damage is a thrash/groove metal band from Finland, formed in 2020. The band combines thrash metal speed with groove metal's rhythmic punch.
Portland, Oregon's Fall from Grace has been working the groove and thrash metal intersection since 2018, a city with a long history of heavy music providing the backdrop for riff-forward, rhythmically locked playing.
Tucson's Fall from Grace plays heavy metal with a hard rock sensibility, formed in 2018 in a desert city that has produced a surprisingly resilient metal underground despite — or perhaps because of — its remove from the coasts.
