Brutal death metal project from Ankara formed in 2022, delivering guttural extremity from Turkey's capital city. Their punishing approach adds to Ankara's increasingly active death metal community.
GG Proiettili is a slam/brutal death metal band from London, formed in 2024. Their Italian-inflected name — meaning 'GG bullets' — signals the violent precision of their slam death metal from the British capital.
Ghettorectomy is a slam/brutal death metal band from Bournemouth on the English south coast, formed in 2020. Their provocative name signals the unfiltered extremity of their slam death metal from the Dorset seaside.
Connecticut's Ghidorah goes for the throat with slam and brutal death metal — low-tuned, bowel-churning riffs stacked over blastbeats and guttural vocals that barely register as human. Since 2020, they've been a reliable source of absolute sonic punishment.

Newly formed in 2025, Glizzy Gobbler throws the entire brutal death metal playbook at the wall — slam, goregrind, grindcore, and sheer disgusting force — packaged inside a name that refuses to take itself seriously. The music does not share that restraint.
Florida's Gloombringer arrived in 2023 fully committed to the most brutal and anatomically absurd corners of slam — pit-collapsing breakdowns, guttural vocals, and the relentless low-end punishment that defines the genre. They bring gloom in the most literal tonnage sense.
Gloomweaver is a brutal death metal/deathcore band from Southampton and Brighton, formed in 2025. They deliver punishing extremity from the English south coast.
