Gernoth is a black metal project from Eichenau near Munich, Germany, formed in 2022, operating in the raw end of the Bavarian black metal scene. The project channels harsh, unrelenting black metal from the Munich metropolitan area.
Gernotshagen is a pagan black/folk metal band from Trusetal, Germany, active since 2002, whose self-described "blackened nature metal" blends spherical keyboards, melodic guitars, and vocals ranging from clean to throat singing.

Black metal act from the Siberian city of Rubtsovsk, formed in 2021 and bringing extreme darkness from one of Russia's most remote metal outposts. Their sound carries the raw intensity of Siberian black metal's isolated tradition.
Gespenst is a black metal act from Aarhus, Denmark, formed in 2011, whose name means "ghost" in German and Danish. The project has maintained over a decade of spectral black metal from Jutland.
