Fakel is a black metal project from Ukraine, formed in 2020. Their name — Ukrainian/Russian for 'torch' — signals the incendiary spirit of their black metal.
Falaise is a two-piece post-black metal project from Todi, Italy, built around the songwriting of Matteo Guarnello and Lorenzo Pompili. Across releases like My Endless Immensity (2017), A Place I Don't Belong To (2019), and After All This Time (2023), they craft melancholic, atmospheric blackgaze steeped in emotional introspection.
Faland is a black/death/doom metal band from Thalheim, Germany, formed in 2020 by former members of Norsegod and Seelenschmerz. Deliberately avoiding strict genre classification, they create a unique blend of metal influenced by different styles, with releases including the "Gespalten" EP and the album "Narbenvolk."
Falce is a death/thrash outfit from Rome dealing in tightly wound aggression across releases including their self-titled record and Codex Chaos. Their approach strips the genre to its essentials — punishing riffs and relentless tempo shifts rooted in the Italian extreme metal underground.
Falcifer is a doom/black metal band from Fribourg, Switzerland, formed in 2016. The band merges the oppressive heaviness of doom with the cold aggression of black metal in the Swiss underground.
Falet is an experimental black metal project from Marche, Italy, launched in 2018 by vocalist/guitarist Federico (Dreeam) and expanded into a five-piece incorporating keyboards, dual guitars, and progressive and ambient textures. Their 2024 full-length Premonition consolidates these influences across six tracks of genre-blurring extreme metal.
Falkenbach is a pioneering viking/black/folk metal project from Düsseldorf, Germany, led by Vratyas Vakyas and active for more than two decades since the mid-1990s. Described as a trailblazer and prime mover of pagan metal, the project blends epic heroism, Germanic mythology, and Norse-tinged folklore with metallic aggression across albums like "...en their medh riki fara...," "Ok nefna tysvar Ty," "Heralding — The Fireblade," and "Asa."
Fall of Luvah is a black metal band from Baden-Württemberg, Germany, formed in 2020. The project channels dark, atmospheric black metal from the southwestern German state.
Fallakr is a black metal band from Morlaix, France, formed in 2015. The band creates atmospheric black metal from the Breton town in Finistère.
