Fanatic Attack is a thrash metal band from Zalaszentivan, Hungary, evolving from straight thrash into blackened thrash metal since 2021. The project delivers aggressive, blackened thrash from rural western Hungary.
Fanaticism is a raw black metal project from Hungary, active since 2015 and channeling uncompromising lo-fi black metal. The project operates in the underground reaches of the Hungarian black metal scene.
Fanatisme is a black metal/post-punk project from Oslo, formed in 2025. They represent the newest wave of Norwegian black metal's genre-blending evolution, fusing traditional black metal with post-punk's angular rhythms and cold-wave atmospherics.
Fanchon is a black metal project from Bavaria, Germany, formed in 2020. The project creates atmospheric black metal inspired by the dark forests and alpine landscapes of southern Germany.
Fanculo Merda is a grindcore band from Cagliari, Sardinia, whose five members play what they call 'grindabestiapunkcore' — a feral collision of grind, punk, and hardcore. Releases including Malessere Esistenziale and Dawson deliver deliberately provocative, unfiltered blasts of extreme noise.
Buffalo's Fane works in the overlapping territory of doom and sludge metal, where slow riffs carry enormous weight and the atmosphere is thick enough to feel physical. Since 2017, they've been one of upstate New York's heavier propositions.
Louisiana's Fane operates somewhere in the murky intersection of black metal, death, sludge, and hardcore — a deliberately unclean combination that suits the state's swampy extremity. Formed in 2017, their sound resists easy classification.
Fanebærer is a black metal band from Copenhagen, Denmark, formed in 2017. The band's Danish name — meaning "standard bearer" — signals their commitment to carrying the black metal banner from the Scandinavian capital.
Fangalactic Supergoria is a stoner/doom metal trio from Sardinia, Italy, who describe their mission as deciphering the universe through warped geometry. Originally active in the 2000s before dissolving in 2008, they re-emerged in 2023 with the demo 20 Light Years, fusing heavy doom riffs with space rock atmospherics and cosmic lyrical themes.
