Falsum is a recent black metal arrival with origins shrouded in anonymity — no city, no state listed, just the music, which is fitting for a genre that often prizes mystique. They emerged in 2025, and with a name meaning 'falsehood' in Latin, the aesthetic intention is clear.
Falsus Deum is a black/death metal band from Leiria, Portugal, formed in 2024. Their Latin name — meaning 'false god' — anchors their extreme metal in anti-religious themes from the central Portuguese city.
Milwaukee's Falter has been combining the chaos of grindcore with metalcore's structured intensity since 2011. The pairing creates something with both the brevity and fury of grind and the purposeful aggression of core.
Oregon's Falxifer is a fresh 2025 act pushing brutal death metal and deathcore into each other with ruthless efficiency. The name itself — Latin for 'sickle-bearer' — points to a sound that has no interest in subtlety.
Fame On Fire blend metalcore aggression with pop production, hip-hop cadences, and electronic elements from their base in West Palm Beach, Florida. Vocalist Bryan Kuzniar's ability to shift between rap-influenced verses, screamed choruses, and melodic hooks has earned the band a massive online following and viral cover versions. Their original material on 'LEVELS' and 'WELCOME TO THE CHAOS' proves they're far more than a covers band, delivering a genre-fluid sound built for the streaming era.
Family Devotion Murder is a death/groove metal act from Padua, Italy, formed in February 2020 amid the pandemic lockdowns. Their 2021 debut Tentacles channels fury across eleven tracks blending death metal, deathcore, and industrial elements, with lyrics confronting Italian mafia culture beyond regional stereotypes.
Famishgod is a doom/death metal band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2014. The band creates crushing, despondent doom/death from the Spanish capital.
Famma is a death metal band from Strazske in the Presov region of eastern Slovakia, active since 2009. They deliver death metal from one of Slovakia's smaller and more industrially focused towns.
Famyne is a doom metal band from Canterbury, England, formed in 2015. The band channels slow, heavy doom from the historic English cathedral city.
