Louisville's False takes the collision of death metal, thrash, and hardcore seriously, forging something rawer and more unpredictable than any single genre label can contain. Since 2013, they've been a fixture of the Kentucky underground.
False Coda is a progressive metal band from Salamina and Athens, Greece, active since 2016 and crafting intricate, technically demanding compositions. The project channels progressive metal's complexity through a Greek musical lens.
False Dawn is an atmospheric/post-black metal band from Kosice in eastern Slovakia, formed in 2015. They craft expansive, emotionally charged post-black metal from Slovakia's second-largest city, a cultural hub in the east of the country.
False Entailment is an avant-garde death metal band from Slatina, Croatia, active since 2021 and pushing death metal into experimental territory. The project represents the more adventurous side of Croatian extreme metal.
False Faith is a black metal band from Valladolid, Spain, formed in 2015. The band creates raw black metal from the Castilian meseta.
False Flag Attack is a grindcore band from Crailsheim, Germany, formed in 2012. The band delivers short, explosive bursts of political grindcore fury from the Baden-Württemberg town.
False God is a black/doom metal band with industrial influences from Szczecin, Poland, formed in 2021. They layer industrial textures over a foundation of black and doom metal, creating an oppressive, mechanized heaviness from the northwestern Polish port city.
Out of Patchogue, New York, False Gods deal in the slow and heavy — doom and sludge metal that crawls forward with deliberate menace. Formed in 2016, they build tension through weight and repetition rather than speed.
Blacksburg, Virginia's False Hope channels the precision and punishment of technical death metal into songs that reward close listening. Since forming in 2016, they've focused on the surgical end of extreme music.
