A Connecticut project blending depressive black metal with the skeletal tension of post-punk, Geflimmernacht has been crafting bleak, introspective soundscapes from Mansfield since 2020. The German name translates loosely to 'flickering night,' and the music lives up to the image.
Gefrierpunkt—German for freezing point—is a black metal band from Sankt Leonhard am Forst/Pöchlarn in Lower Austria, formed in 2010 by a core of five musicians who built their lineup over their first year. They appeared on the 2013 Austrian black metal compilation Ambassadors of Darkness and have remained active as an independent underground act.

Gegenschein is a raw black metal/ambient project from Kingston upon Hull in East Yorkshire, active since 2010. Named after the astronomical phenomenon of light reflected from cosmic dust, they blend raw black metal with ambient textures from the Humber estuary.
Geheimnisvoll is a raw black metal project from somewhere in the United States, deliberately obscured and unpolished in the best tradition of the underground. Since 2019, the project has leaned into lo-fi production as an aesthetic weapon rather than a limitation.
One of the longer-running acts in American black metal and hardcore crossover territory, Reno's Gehenna has been active since 1997 and forged a sound that treats both genres as equals. Confrontational, uncompromising, and built to last.
Gehennah is a black/thrash metal band from Forshaga, Sweden, active since 2015 and delivering raw, aggressive crossover fury from the Värmland countryside. The project merges black metal's darkness with thrash's velocity.
