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.
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.
Portland, Oregon's Fantasmagoria has been thrashing since 2001, making them one of the Pacific Northwest's longer-running outfits in the genre. Two-plus decades in, they continue to champion the speed and aggression that drew them to metal in the first place.
Shelton, Washington's Fantastic Flying Foelschs commits fully to the absurdity of their name while playing utterly serious doom, sludge, and stoner metal. Formed in 2018, they've evolved from eclectic roots into a band with genuine heaviness at their core.
Rochester's Fantom deals in traditional heavy metal with a shadowy theatricality that suits the band's name. Since 2017 they've been part of upstate New York's small but committed metal underground.
San Luis Obispo's Fantom Fire brings heavy metal energy to California's Central Coast, a region not typically associated with the genre. Formed in 2022, they're one of those welcome surprises found in unexpected ZIP codes.
Union, New Jersey's Fantom Warior has been a thrash fixture since 2015, their intentional misspelling a nod to the genre's proudly anti-establishment spirit. Their sound is fast, guitar-forward, and built on the kind of riffs that demand a response.
Seattle's Fantôme Maléfique — French for 'malefic phantom' — arrived in 2023 with a name steeped in occult romanticism and black metal to match. The city's grey skies and damp atmosphere provide an appropriate backdrop for this kind of atmospheric darkness.
