Faith No More - The Real Thing
Review by Gary Hill
Although the majority of the lyrics to this album are too dark and gritty for my tastes, the music contained herein is a very good meshing of heavy metal and progressive rock influences.

Fates Warning - Parallels
Review by Gary Hill
Fates Warning is Roy Alder, Jim Matheos, Frank Aresti, Joe Dibiase and Mark Zander. Dream Theater`s James Labrie provides background vocals on Life in Still Water.

Fates Warning - Disconnected
Review by Vivian Lee
In July of 2000 Fates Warning, the thinking person's prog metal band from California, have offered their latest, Disconnected. This brave new effort resembles, but not rehashes, past works like A Pleasant Shade of Grey or Parallels, either musically or in theme.

Fates Warning - Darkness In A Different Light
Review by Greg Olma
It has been almost a decade since we have gotten a Fates Warning release.

Fervence - Ghost
Review by Gary Hill

This act combines modern nu-metal with alternative rock, epic metal and more.

Fiend - Seeress
Review by Mike Korn
There are not many albums that take you on a real sonic journey anymore. Well, here is one, coming from a French band that I have never heard of before.

Fight - A Small Deadly Space
Review by Gary Hill
Much of this album is pure metal, however there are sections that show much progressive influences. Rob Halford`s vocal work here is based in the lower end of the register, rather than showing the high end pyrotechnics that he exhibited in Judas Priest.
More
Fireaxe - Lovecraftian Nightmares
Review by Gary Hill
Fireaxe is a one-man band in the personage of Brian Voth. The sound of Fireaxe certain falls into heavy metal, although there are other elements present as well.
More
Fireborn - Reflections
Review by Gary Hill
I have heard of this band being called "hard rock," rather than metal. There is some merit to that.

More
FireHouse - O2
Review by Gary Hill
This new release by Firehouse finds them continuing their career of ‘80’s styled metal done with a classic tilt. For fans of that type of music, this CD should be a good entry into the catalog.

More
FireHouse - Bring 'Em Out Live
Review by Brian Angotti
Since scorching up the charts up with hits like "Love Of A Lifetime" and "Don't Treat Me Bad", Firehouse have finally put on tape what they do best; and that is play live. Bring 'em Out "LIVE" is a collection of the band's greatest hits captured live.

Fist of Five - Sparrow Road
Review by Gary Hill
I have landed this album under heavy metal.

More
Five Pointe 0 - Untitled
Review by Arnold Hablewitz
Coolness - as Joliet, IL is now firmly on the musical map with this, a 6-piece metal band comprised mostly of kids just out of or finishing high school. Kicking around for only a few years, the band has already honed a surprisingly mature sound while still retaining that youthful energy and attitude that the nu-metal genre is known for.
More
Force Fed Chaos - Kept Beneath
Review by Mike Heitzman
This is a great local band hailing from Rockford, Illinois.

More
Force of Evil - Force of Evil
Review by Mike Korn
When the subject of great heavy metal guitar duos comes up, Hank Shermann and Michael Denner will never be far from the lips of the knowing metalhead.
More
Forever Autumn - Crowned in Skulls
Review by Gary Hill
This act is listed as a metal band, so I'm going to include this under heavy metal. I have to wonder if their other music is different, though.

More
Fortunato - From High Above
Review by Gary Hill
This French metal band takes its name from bassist and vocalist Fortunato. I've been trying to get this covered for a while, but I've had some trouble with it.

More
From Hell - Ascent from Hell
Review by Gary Hill
This is extreme metal. I’d also make the argument that it is classical music.

More
From Hell - Rats & Ravens
Review by Gary Hill

This is the latest set from thrash/death metal band From Hell. This is a reasonably effective set.
