Futures End is an American progressive metal band based in California, formed by guitarists Christian Wentz and Marc Pattison.

Once their first few demos were completed, Fred Marshall, formerly of progressive metal band Zero Hour, was chosen to be their vocalist for his powerful vocals and great melodic sense. Shortly thereafter, bassist Steve Di Giorgio (Death, Sadus, Iced Earth) and drummer Jon Allen (Testament, Sadus) came on board to complete Futures End.{{Cite web|url=http://bravewords.com/news/futures-end-open-website-to-the-public-album-stream-free-track-download-available|title=Futures End Open Website To The Public; Album Stream/Free Track Download Available|magazine=Bravewords.com|date=February 1, 2010}}
