Aurora, Illinois's F.O.G. have been grinding out heavy metal and hard rock since 2009, drawing on classic heavy metal foundations with a no-frills Midwestern directness.
F.O.W. is a thrash metal band from Chrudim, Czech Republic, formed in 2021. The band delivers fast, aggressive thrash metal from the East Bohemian town.
F.P.G.S. is a two-piece experimental black/doom metal project from Bregenz, Vorarlberg, founded in December 2006 by F.P. on guitar, bass, and drum machine, and G.S. on vocals and concept. Their debut album "Am Abgrund" (2008) is a concept record built around the four stages of approaching schizophrenia — Prodromalphase, Exazerbation, Schizophrenes Residuum, and Suizidstadien — mapping the psychological collapse of a young man through bleak, droning compositions.
F.R.A.M. is a folk metal band from Luhansk, Ukraine, formed in 2023. They bring folk-infused metal from eastern Ukraine, a region deeply affected by the ongoing conflict.
F.R.O.S.T. is a black metal project from Piraeus, Greece, active since 2013 and delivering cold, aggressive black metal from the port city near Athens. The project channels the darkness of the Hellenic underground.
Webster, New York's F.U.B.A.R. have been channeling the reckless energy of crossover thrash since 2005, delivering the kind of bulldozing, punk-infused thrash that does exactly what the name implies.
Long Beach's F.U.B.A.R. bring the hard-living spirit of Southern California's hardcore and metal crossroads to their thrash, cranking out fast, aggressive riffs with a chaotic punk edge since 2005.
F.U.C.Kings is a thrash metal band from Kaarst, Germany, formed in 2025. As a brand-new thrash act from the Rhineland, the band brings irreverent energy and aggressive riffing to the German thrash scene.
Cleveland's F.U.D. carry on the Rust Belt tradition of no-bullshit crossover thrash, formed in 2019 with a sound that punches hard and moves fast — fear, uncertainty, and doubt rendered in guitar and blastbeats.
