Fange is an industrial sludge/death metal band from Rennes, France, formed in 2014. The band merges industrial noise, sludge metal's abrasion, and death metal's heaviness from the Breton capital.
Sacramento's Fangehull entered the black metal underground in 2023 with a project name that evokes something archaic and Northern despite the California locale. Their sound borrows from the raw, primitive end of the genre's tradition.
Fangor is a melodic/epic Viking metal band from Doetinchem in the Netherlands, formed in 2009. They deliver sweeping, battle-themed Viking metal with melodic hooks and epic arrangements from the eastern Gelderland province.
Fangorn is a folk/black metal band from Hallwang, Salzburg, formed in 1998, now active under the name Rivendell. Drawing directly on J.R.R. Tolkien's mythology, their original 1998 demo "Poems of Mountains and Forests" — remastered and reissued as "Fangorn: Poems of Mountains and Forests" in 2024 — blends raw black metal with epic folk arrangements and fantasy-themed lyrics.
Fangsylvania is a symphonic black/death metal project from Sweden, formed in 2019. Their vampiric name signals horror-themed extreme metal that merges symphonic grandeur with the aggression of both black and death metal traditions.
New Jersey's FangTooth has been a death metal presence since 2011, doing the work without fuss or genre-blending complications. The name promises something with bite, and the band delivers accordingly.
Colorado's Fantasia takes a hard rock–leaning approach to heavy metal, formed in 2018 with a sound that's melodic without sacrificing edge. Their name and style both suggest a certain classicist sensibility.
Fantasist is an atmospheric black metal project from Sundbyberg in the Stockholm metropolitan area, active since 2001. Over two decades of atmospheric black metal represent one of the longest-running projects in the Swedish underground.
Mount Prospect, Illinois's Fantasm weaves progressive metal ambition together with the melodic urgency of power metal, active since 2023. The suburb of Chicago is an unlikely incubator for this kind of soaring, technically adept sound, but it works.
