Fransis Forth is a melodic death/black metal band from Sofia, Bulgaria, originally formed in 2012 by guitarist and vocalist Ord Ost. After releasing an early demo titled Left To Save, the project went dormant for several years before being revived in 2023 with a powerful new lineup of experienced musicians from the Bulgarian underground scene.

The band made its live return in October 2023, supporting Askeesi and Xathrites, marking the beginning of a new era for Fransis Forth. Since then the group has played at Total Metal Open Air, performed standalone concerts, guested at Velian’s live album promotion and supported Varathron.

In 2025, the band released its debut full-length album Left To Save, featuring eight tracks that blend melodic guitar work, dark atmospheric elements, intense rhythm sections and expressive vocals. The album received strong feedback from media outlets such as Black Metal Zine and AMMO Supports the Underground, was featured on the TV show Fraktura, and received airplay on Z-Rock and Radio Tangra.

Fransis Forth combines the melodic side of extreme metal with a heavy, atmospheric sound and energetic stage presence. With a strong female vocal front, tight instrumental performance and a dark visual aesthetic, the band is steadily carving its place in the modern Bulgarian metal scene and attracting attention internationally.
