Gholgoth is a black metal project from Szentes in southeastern Hungary, formed in 2015. They deliver black metal from the Great Plain near the Serbian border.
Ghorm is a black metal project from Edinburgh, Scotland, formed in 2023. Their Gaelic name — meaning 'blue' or 'dark blue' — brings a distinctly Scottish character to their black metal from the Scottish capital.
Boise, Idaho's Ghorot merges blackened aggression with doom's cavernous, slow-moving devastation, producing music that feels like a frozen landscape slowly giving way underfoot. Active since 2019, they bring a remote, desolate quality to everything they touch.
Ghost is an experimental project from Bourg-en-Bresse, France, formed in 2013, blending black metal, doom, and experimental elements into an unorthodox sonic palette. Their approach defies easy categorization, drawing from multiple extreme genres.
Ghost Awaits the Night is an American black and folk metal project that draws on ancient, pastoral imagery to balance ferocity with haunting natural beauty. Since 2019, they've cultivated an atmospheric sound that bridges the wilderness and the void.
Formed in the bleak flatlands of Minot, North Dakota, Ghost Bath emerged in 2013 as one of the most emotionally raw voices in depressive post-black metal. Their shimmering, tear-soaked tremolo lines and tortured shrieking vocals frame a sound that sits somewhere between suicidal black metal and transcendent beauty.
Bradner, Ohio's Ghost Eyes fuse black metal hostility with the confrontational energy of hardcore, arriving at a sound that is as ugly and airless as a condemned building. Active since 2019, the band makes no concessions to comfort or melody.
Fayetteville, Arkansas's Ghost Hollow channel the murk of the Ozarks into blackened sludge metal, piling on distorted feedback and caustic black metal spite in equal measure. Formed in 2022, they are a recent and abrasive arrival to the scene.
Against the vast, sun-scorched backdrop of Phoenix, Ghost Horizon have been conjuring atmospheric black metal since 2016 — sprawling compositions where frozen tremolo riffs and cavernous drums evoke desolate desert horizons rather than Scandinavian snowfields.
