One of the longer-standing names in New Jersey's black metal underground, Grafvolluth has been conjuring cold, misanthropic darkness from Toms River since 2004. Two decades of persistence have sharpened their craft into something deliberately severe.
Grafzerk is a black metal project from Grodno, Belarus, formed in 2020, working in the raw and atmospheric reaches of the genre. The project maintains a low-profile, underground presence consistent with the Belarusian black metal tradition.
Graien is a four-piece black/sludge/post-metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2023, named after the grey witch sisters of Greek mythology. Their 2025 release I Lay You to Rest was recorded and mastered by Stella Sesto at Pink Noise Studios in Berlin, blending atmospheric post-metal textures with sludge and black metal weight.
Grailight is a symphonic black/death metal band from Moscow, Russia, active since 2019 and merging orchestral grandeur with the ferocity of black and death metal. The project delivers cinematic extremity from the Russian capital.
Grailknight is an atmospheric black metal project from Belgrade, Serbia, forging dark soundscapes since 2017. They channel the mystical and medieval through layers of tremolo and atmosphere.
Gralloch is a Czech black metal project formed in 2026, delivering atmospheric and melodic black metal in its earliest stages. The project is among the newest entries in the Central European black metal underground.
Gram is a black metal project from Bielefeld, Germany, formed in 2021, named after the legendary Norse sword that killed the dragon Fafnir. The project channels mythology-steeped black metal from the Westphalian city.
Minneapolis black metal project Gramarye takes its name from an archaic word for occult knowledge, and the music lives up to that etymology — layered, incantatory, and dense with atmosphere. Active since 2020, they mine the grimmer traditions of the genre without losing an otherworldly sense of space.
Out of Altoona, Pennsylvania, Grampian arrived in 2022 with a black metal sound rooted in geographic isolation and compositional austerity. There's a rugged, unadorned quality to what they do that suits the working-class landscape they come from.
