FALLUJAH

The fierce San Francisco-based unit Fallujah is among the bands pushing technical death metal into new territories. Their music is built on precise riffs and complex rhythms, but it also leaves room for atmospheric layers and melodic lines, making it feel lighter than traditional death metal. They typically alternate between heavy, fast passages and calmer, almost ambient moments, creating an engaging contrast and giving their work a distinctive character. Fallujah thus combine intensity and technical complexity with musical moodiness and a modern sound.
