Glaciers of Ice is a black/thrash metal band from London, formed in 2021. They merge the frozen hostility of black metal with thrash metal's velocity from the British capital.
Glaciar is an atmospheric black metal project from Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, formed in 2014, channeling vast, glacial soundscapes through layered black metal. The project takes its name from the elemental power of moving ice, reflecting its slow-building, expansive approach.
Glades of Gloom is a black metal act from Sliven, Bulgaria, whose album Grim Seraphic Obsequies was originally recorded around 2000 and remastered for a 2020 reissue on Daemonicreation. The four-piece lineup notably includes bagpipe alongside traditional black metal instrumentation, adding an unusual folk dimension to their satanic old-school sound.
Gladium Regis is an epic/atmospheric black metal and dungeon synth project from Chieti in Abruzzo, formed in 2020. Their Latin name — meaning 'sword of the king' — signals the medieval grandeur of their atmospheric black metal.
Glaisemort is a raw black metal project from Clermont-Ferrand, France, formed in 2026, self-described as 'urban rot worship,' blending raw black metal, lo-fi production, dark ambient, and noise aesthetics. Their four-track demo includes a Lifelover cover alongside original compositions exploring shame and silence.
Raw, unpolished, and deliberately hostile, Glaive strips black metal back to its most primitive essentials — primitive tremolo lines, blizzard-blast drumming, and vocals dragged up from the frost. A project born in 2020 with no interest in compromise.
Glamhoth is a black metal project from Hauho, Finland, formed in 2021, drawing on the dark, atmospheric traditions of Finnish black metal. Their sound embraces the cold, hostile aesthetic that defines the Nordic black metal underground.
Glamsdring is a black metal project from Ashford in Kent, formed in 2023. Named after Gandalf's elvish sword in Tolkien's legendarium, they channel Middle-earth-inspired black metal from southeast England.
Glasperlenspiel is a black metal project from Stuttgart, Germany, formed in 2014, whose name references Hermann Hesse's novel The Glass Bead Game. The project channels literary and philosophical depth through black metal from the capital of Baden-Wurttemberg.
