Falling Moon is a black metal project from Germany, formed in 2025. As one of the newest black metal projects in the German underground, the band is just beginning to carve out their sonic identity.
Falling Through is a groove metal/grunge band from Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 2020. The band blends groove metal's heaviness with grunge's raw emotion.
Livermore, California's Falling to Pieces have been blending thrash aggression with groove metal's rhythmic muscle since 2007, part of the Bay Area's remarkably durable tradition of heavy guitar-driven bands. Nearly two decades in, they continue refining a formula that keeps the energy high and the riffs heavy.
Falloch is a band from Glasgow, Scotland, that evolved from folk/post-rock/metal into drone and funeral doom territory. Their stylistic journey reflects a dramatic shift from atmospheric post-rock into crushing, glacially slow extremity.
Chico, California's Fallon bring death/thrash hostility from a small Northern California college town that has quietly produced more serious heavy music than its size might suggest, formed in 2023. Raw, fast, and riff-forward, their approach has the hungry urgency of a young band with something to prove.
Brooklyn's Fallout have been delivering hard-nosed heavy metal and hard rock since 2018, rooted in the borough's long tradition of working-class rock and roll. Their sound is unshowy and direct — the kind of heavy metal that has more in common with a bar stage than an arena, and is better for it.
A heavy metal outfit out of Corvallis, Oregon, Fallout formed in 2018 and deals in the kind of meat-and-potatoes metal that keeps the genre's blue-collar roots alive. Straightforward riffs and a no-frills approach define their sound.
Albuquerque's Fallout channels the sun-scorched tenacity of the Southwest into classic heavy metal, active since 2018. Their music leans on the fundamentals — raw riffs, driving rhythms, and an uncompromising attitude.
New York's Fallout blends the ferocity of death metal with the kinetic energy of thrash, formed in 2018. The combination makes for a sound that's both technically aggressive and viscerally propulsive.
