Coming out of the Bay Area in 2018, Fallout carries on the thrash tradition that the region made legendary. Their sound is shaped by the same streets and stages that forged the genre's golden era.
Out of Hazelton, Pennsylvania, this Fallout has been delivering hard-hitting heavy metal since 2018. There's a regional grit to their approach that speaks to the working-class roots of the genre.
Fallout H.R. is a thrash metal band from Chieti, Italy, with releases including the track Red Forest. They channel straightforward thrash aggression rooted in the Italian underground metal tradition.
Named after a landmark from Middle-earth, Falls of Rauros emerged from Portland, Maine in 2007 and built a reputation for atmospheric black metal deeply entwined with folk melody. Their music has a wild, elemental quality that feels genuinely tied to the cold forests and granite coasts of the Northeast.
One of the more ambitious acts to emerge from the technical death metal world, Fallujah started as a deathcore band before evolving into something far more expansive — layering atmospheric textures and progressive structures over punishing heaviness. Based in Nashville, they've pushed the genre's boundaries since 2016 without abandoning its brutality.
Falne is a black metal project from Rogaland in western Norway, formed in 2023. Their name — Norwegian for 'fallen' — anchors their black metal in the brooding, rain-swept landscape of the Stavanger region, one of Norway's key breeding grounds for the genre.
Falout is a thrash metal/punk and hard rock band from Bischofswerda, Germany, formed in 2023. The band blends the speed of thrash with punk's raw energy and hard rock attitude from the Saxon town.
Falsa Luz is a raw black metal and punk unit from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, formed in 2020. The trio, credited under the initials D.C., D.D., and G.N., draws comparisons to acts like Bone Awl, blending tremolo-driven riffs with tormented vocals. Their discography includes the albums Breu Eterno, Por Linhas Tortas, and Vozes Penadas, all self-released through their Bandcamp.
Minneapolis black metal unit False has earned serious underground respect since 2013 for crafting long-form, emotionally devastating compositions that are as much about atmosphere as aggression. Their releases are few but formidable.
