Farmakon is a progressive death metal band from Tampere, Finland, active since 2003. With over two decades of activity, the band has been exploring the progressive side of death metal from Finland's third city.
Pittsburgh's Faron blends black metal with ambient textures into something atmospheric and unsettling, formed in 2021 under the long shadow of western Pennsylvania winters. The project carries the solitary, introspective character that defines the black metal/ambient crossover at its most immersive.
Farost is a black metal project from Cadca in the far northwestern corner of Slovakia, formed in 2018. They channel black metal from the Kysuce region on the Polish and Czech borders, an area of deep forests and mountain isolation.
Farscape is a thrash metal band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, whose roots trace back to 1998. The band released three albums — Demon's Massacre (2003), Killers on the Loose (2006), and Primitive Blitzkrieg (2013) — before going silent for a decade while members participated in projects including Whipstriker, Atomic Roar, and Apokalyptic Raids. They returned in 2023 with Purged and Forgotten, released through Dying Victims Productions.
Chicago's Farseer has been building slow, crushing sonic architecture since 2012, drawing on the city's tradition of heavy music to craft dense post-metal and sludge that rewards patient listeners. Their music moves like tectonic plates — glacial, inevitable, and massive.
Farson is an avant-garde black and death metal band from Göttingen, Germany, formed in 2013. Their discography — spanning "The Same Untruth" (2013), "Erode" (2016), "Kreatürlich" (2018), and a 2023 demo — charts a restless evolution through progressive, avant-garde metal territory with a four-piece lineup that defies genre boundaries.
Farsot is a five-piece avant-garde black metal band from Gotha, Thuringia, Germany, associated with Prophecy Productions. Starting from depressive black metal roots, they developed a distinctive sound that critics have called a classic of avant-garde black metal, with albums including "IIII," "Insects" (2011), "Toteninsel," and "FAIL·LURE."
Farsoth is a death metal project from Sweden, formed in 2023. Their Tolkien-derived name — a reference to Morgoth's fortress — signals the epic darkness of their death metal approach.
Fartgod is a death metal band from Ludvika in the Dalarna region of central Sweden, formed in 2021. Their deliberately absurd name contrasts with the serious heaviness of their death metal from the Swedish mining country.
