A Toledo institution since 1993, Godhead carry the weight of death metal's early tradition in every riff — slow-grinding at times, explosive at others, with the kind of staying power only decades of dedication can forge.
Godhead Machinery is a black metal band from Norrköping, Sweden, active since 2021 and delivering mechanical, relentless black metal from this East Gothland industrial city. The project channels cold, precise aggression.
Ankara black/death metal act formed in 2012, unleashing extreme darkness from Turkey's capital city. Their fusion of black and death metal traditions creates a sound rooted in both genres' most aggressive elements.
Godhole is a grindcore/black metal/powerviolence band from Edinburgh, formed in 2014. They deliver short, violent bursts of genre-blending extremity from the Scottish capital.
Godless is a melodic black/death metal band from Wertingen, Germany, formed in 2016, blending melodic black metal's atmospheric sweep with death metal's aggression. The band operates in the Swabian region of Bavaria.
Godlethe is a doom/melodic death/black metal band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2024, combining three dark metal subgenres into a layered, atmospheric approach. The project is among the newest additions to Barcelona's diverse extreme metal scene.
Godocide is a black metal project from Reepsholt in East Frisia, Germany, formed in 2012, delivering raw black metal from Germany's rural North Sea coast. The project channels anti-theistic themes through over a decade of underground black metal.
Emerging from Salinas in 2012, Gods in Graves pull from black, death, and doom metal in equal measure — weaving cold tremolo runs through cavernous low-end and suffocating atmosphere. The result is something genuinely sepulchral.
Santa Fe's Gods of War balance melodic hooks against death metal's heavier instincts, threading cinematic lead work through the kind of rhythmic punishment the genre demands. Active since 2009, they've carved a distinctive niche in the New Mexico scene.
