A groove-driven force out of Capon Bridge, Virginia, F.E.A.R. merges the heavy, riff-locked churn of groove metal with the aggressive vocal attack of metalcore, carving out their sound since 2014.
F.O.A.M. arrived on the Evansville, Indiana underground in 2024 fusing the blastbeat brutality of grindcore with power metal's melodic ambition — a deliberately jarring combination that keeps listeners off-balance.
Aurora, Illinois's F.O.G. have been grinding out heavy metal and hard rock since 2009, drawing on classic heavy metal foundations with a no-frills Midwestern directness.
Webster, New York's F.U.B.A.R. have been channeling the reckless energy of crossover thrash since 2005, delivering the kind of bulldozing, punk-infused thrash that does exactly what the name implies.
Long Beach's F.U.B.A.R. bring the hard-living spirit of Southern California's hardcore and metal crossroads to their thrash, cranking out fast, aggressive riffs with a chaotic punk edge since 2005.
Cleveland's F.U.D. carry on the Rust Belt tradition of no-bullshit crossover thrash, formed in 2019 with a sound that punches hard and moves fast — fear, uncertainty, and doubt rendered in guitar and blastbeats.
Lawrence, Kansas band F29 have been pulling down-tuned doom grooves since 2012, stacking the slow, crushing weight of doom metal against heavier groove-driven rhythms that hit like a freight train.
A recent arrival from Salt Lake City, Fabler has been crafting heavy, earth-bound doom and stoner metal since 2023 — slow riffs steeped in desert haze that reward patient listeners.
Folsom, California's Fables have been pushing experimental black metal into strange new territory since 2004, bending the genre's frozen aggression toward unconventional structures and unsettling atmospheres.
