New York heavy hitters False Gods have their own take on metal, a unique blend of southern-sludge influenced doom mixed with some old-school NYHC and a healthy dose of noise. The result is brash, bulldozing and in-your-face, shifting gears like a snow plow coming down a steep mountain.

Coming together out of the rubbles of a previous band, Skeletondealer, False Gods were set out to create music that wouldn't fit into any one metal sub-genre. Founding member, Greg March, recorded a demo of what would become the foundation for their debut release. After playing it for band member, Mike Stack, the band rounded out the line-up and immediately finished recording what would be there debut release, “Wasteland”, produced by Joe Cincotta (Suffocation, This is Hell, Incendiary).

Since their initial release in 2016, the band had gone on to release two more ep's "Reports from Oblivion" and "The Serpent and The Ladder" independently. In 2020, they released their first full-length album this time on Seeing Red Records entitled "No Symmetry...Only Disillusion" to rave reviews. In 2022, they released their follow-up full-length entitled "Neurotopia" again on Seeing Red Records which received an 8 out of 10 stars from both Decibel and Metal Hammer UK Magazine as well as adding on new bass player Devin Stracuzza and touring the Northeast with legendary sludge metal act Come to Grief. The following year saw the band touring across the country as well as festival appearances at the 2023 Grim Reefer Fest (with headliners Bongzilla) both the Maryland and Ohio Doom Fest and two sold-out shows with Long Island's From Autumn to Ashes and the addition of new drummer, Josh Harrison. In 2025 the band had released their third full-length on BRC-30 Records entitled “Lost in Darkness and Distance” while touring with legendary acts such as 16, eyehategod and Flesh Parade. 2026 saw the addition of new bass player Justin Regelin and continued touring playing many festival shows.

The band has had the chance to share the stage with Conan, Crowbar, Abigail Williams, Barishi, Urban Waste, Ghost Bath, Fistula, Cloud Rat, Castle, Will Haven, Ilsa, Artificial Brain, Sunrot, Unearthly Trance, Heavy Temple, Amigo the Devil, Genocide Impact, Wretch, Castle, The Obsessed, Pentagram.
