Sacramento, CA · 2015–present · active
Sacramento's Fallen Man fuse industrial, thrash, and death metal into something mechanical and ferocious, active since 2015 in a Northern California city that's produced some of metal's most uncompromising acts. The industrial thread runs cold through their sound, adding processed menace to the traditional metallic assault.
WA · 2010–present · active
Washington state's Fallen Martyr have spent over a decade developing a progressive death/thrash sound that prizes structural complexity alongside aggression, formed in 2010. Their music moves through unexpected shifts in tempo and texture, refusing to settle into the predictable patterns of either genre.
Chicago, IL · 2021–present · active
Chicago's Fallen n Corrupted push death metal into experimental territory, founded in 2021 with an apparent interest in breaking the genre's conventions rather than faithfully executing them. The 'experimental' tag is a meaningful one here — a signal that riff logic alone won't constrain where this band goes.
Albuquerque, NM · 2016–present · active
Albuquerque's Fallen Prophets deliver death/thrash from the high desert Southwest, a scene that has long sustained underground metal despite its geographic distance from major coastal hubs. Formed in 2016, their sound mines the aggression of both genres to forge something heavy enough to match New Mexico's arid, unforgiving terrain.
Harbor Beach, MI · 2024–present · active
Harbor Beach, Michigan's Fallen Seraph bring death/thrash ferocity from one of the state's most remote reaches, formed in 2024. Playing extreme metal in a small Lake Huron shoreline community takes a certain commitment — their sound carries the isolated, driven energy that kind of geography tends to produce.
Los Angeles, CA · 2017–present · active
Los Angeles black/death act Fallen Soul have been operating in the city's sprawling underground since 2017, where the sheer size of the scene lets extreme metal acts pursue uncompromising sounds without chasing commercial viability. Their dual-genre identity brings both frost and brutality to a city not typically associated with either.
Leesburg, VA · 2020–present · active
Leesburg, Virginia's Fallen Void have been plying straight-ahead death metal since 2020 in the Northern Virginia suburbs, a region whose proximity to Washington, D.C. has fed a durable underground metal culture. Their name implies an abyss that doesn't resolve — just opens wider the further in you go.
Chico, CA · 2023–present · active
Chico, California's Fallon bring death/thrash hostility from a small Northern California college town that has quietly produced more serious heavy music than its size might suggest, formed in 2023. Raw, fast, and riff-forward, their approach has the hungry urgency of a young band with something to prove.
NY · 2018–present · active
New York's Fallout blends the ferocity of death metal with the kinetic energy of thrash, formed in 2018. The combination makes for a sound that's both technically aggressive and viscerally propulsive.
