We Are Fkn' Starforsaken.

Melodic Death Metal
made in Brazil.

About Us

Starforsaken was born in 2020, shaped by constant change and the weight of the underground scene in Curitiba. Not everything survives — and neither did every version of this band.

After releasing the singles Down to Decay and Face the Storm, Starforsaken moves toward its first full-length album, set for the second half of 2026.

Bio

Who we Are

Founded in late 2020 by Rafael Gonçalves (bass) and Rodrigo Zanlorenzi (vocals), Starforsaken emerged from a shared vision shaped by years in the underground scene.

The first release, Face the Storm (January 2022), marked the beginning — raw, direct, and uncompromising.

Blending classic metal roots with a modern edge, the band delivers dense riffs, relentless drums, and a sound driven more by tension than by formula.
