Fallen Icon is a heavy metal band from Ogulin, Croatia, active since 2015 and delivering traditional heavy metal from the mountainous heart of central Croatia. The project channels classic metal energy from one of Croatia's smaller scenes.
Fallen Idol is a heavy/doom metal trio from Arujá, São Paulo, consisting of Rodrigo Sitta (guitars, vocals), Márcio Silva (bass), and Ulisses Campos (drums). The band has released four full-length albums, including Mourn the Earth (2018) and Weed and Black Candles (2024), the latter self-produced by Sitta with a guest cello appearance by Cielinszka Wielewski. They have also paid tribute to their influences with releases honoring Cirith Ungol (2019) and Black Sabbath (2020).
Seattle's Fallen Idols have been working the death/thrash seam since 2012, a decade-plus run in a city better known for its extreme metal output than crossover appeal. Their sound is rooted in the bruising mid-era thrash/death style where speed and groove share equal billing.
Fallen into Darkness is a raw atmospheric black metal project from Saint Petersburg, Russia, formed in 2024. They channel atmospheric black metal with raw production aesthetics from the northern Russian metropolis.
Las Vegas black metal and dark ambient project Fallen into Shadow operates in deliberate contrast to the city's neon excess, crafting cold, dissonant atmospheres since 2014. The dark ambient element extends their palette beyond genre convention, opening up stretches of oppressive, textured darkness.
Fallen Joy is a melodic death metal band from Joinville-le-Pont, France, formed in 2010. The band delivers emotionally driven melodic death metal from the eastern Parisian suburb.
Philadelphia progressive metal act Fallen Keys have been crafting complex, introspective heavy music since 2018, in a city with a long and serious relationship with progressive and extreme styles. Their name suggests a musical sensibility steeped in tension — notes withheld as much as struck.
Fallen Lives is an atmospheric black metal project from Krasnoyarsk in central Siberia, formed in 2025. They represent the newest wave of Siberian black metal, drawing on the region's vast, isolated landscapes for atmospheric inspiration.
Sacramento's Fallen Man fuse industrial, thrash, and death metal into something mechanical and ferocious, active since 2015 in a Northern California city that's produced some of metal's most uncompromising acts. The industrial thread runs cold through their sound, adding processed menace to the traditional metallic assault.
