Gorse Cairn is a black/doom metal project from West Yorkshire, formed in 2018. Named after the thorny shrub-covered stone burial mounds of the British landscape, they channel the bleak moors of northern England into atmospheric extreme metal.
Gort is an avant-garde black metal project from Budapest, formed in 2020. They push black metal into experimental territory from the Hungarian capital.
Gortaven is a French one-man black metal project drawing from 1990s extreme metal and punk influences ranging from Marduk and Carpathian Forest to Discharge and GBH. The prolific solo effort has produced five releases including Damnation, Désolation, and Le Livre des Âmes, all steeped in raw aggression.
Gorthaur is a black metal project from Alsbach in Hesse, Germany, formed in 2025, named after Sauron's original Elvish name in Tolkien's legendarium. The project channels Tolkien-inspired darkness through raw black metal.
Gorycz is an avant-garde black metal project from Olsztyn, formed in 2018. Their Polish name — meaning 'bitterness' — captures the acrid character of their experimental black metal from the Warmia-Masuria region.
Gospel of Grief is a black metal project from Athens, formed in 2019. They channel anguished black metal from the Greek capital.
Gospel of Wolves is a black/progressive metal/post-hardcore band from Brescia, formed in 2018. They blend multiple genres into an ambitious hybrid from the Lombard industrial city.
Gospod is a black metal band from Tomsk, Siberia, active since 2019 and channeling the vast emptiness of the Siberian taiga through atmospheric black metal. The project's name, meaning "Lord" in Russian, reflects its commanding presence.
Operating out of Longview, Texas, GosT is the project of James Cody Lollar, who launched the darksynth persona in January 2013 under the pseudonym Baalberith. Drawing equally from horror film synthetics, black metal's bleak atmosphere, and the industrial aggression of early Ministry, GosT helped define the darksynth subgenre alongside Carpenter Brut and Perturbator. Albums including Possessor (2018), Valediction (2019), and Rites of Love and Reverence (2021) on Century Media and Metal Blade Records deepened his integration of metal into the electronic framework.
