Germ Bomb is a thrash metal and crossover band from Gothenburg, Sweden, active since 2010 and delivering high-energy, riff-driven crossover fury from Sweden's metal capital. Over a decade of activity reflects a steadfast commitment to thrash.
Pennsylvania's Germ U.S.A. plays crossover thrash with the manic energy of hardcore punks who discovered Slayer and never looked back. Active since 2022, their sound is fast, grimy, and entirely indifferent to polish.
Geronimo is a crossover band from Gistrup in northern Jutland, Denmark, formed in 2010, delivering high-energy crossover from the outskirts of Aalborg. The band combines punk attitude with metal heaviness.
Oklahoma City's Gestalt is a genre-agnostic wrecking ball, routing thrash, death metal, grindcore, and crossover through the same reckless engine since 2018. The parts shouldn't add up to a coherent whole — somehow they do.
Ghetto Ghouls is a thrash metal/crossover band from Trondheim, formed in 2020. They deliver high-energy crossover thrash from Norway's third city.
Des Moines's Ghostbusters are not here to save the city from spectral infestation — they are here to thrash it to rubble, a crossover/thrash outfit active since 2016 whose VHS-era aesthetic translates into a full-speed, no-budget assault on everything respectable.
Giuda is a thrash metal/crossover/crust punk band from Italy, active since 2010. They deliver aggressive crossover thrash with crust punk energy.
Iowa City's Giving Up have been delivering crossover thrash with genuine punk conviction since 2007, blending the speed and riff-craft of thrash with the urgent, stripped-down energy of hardcore. The name sounds defeatist; the music sounds anything but.
Pennsylvania's Gnargoyles have carved out a grimy niche where crossover thrash collides head-on with death metal ferocity. Their sound is ugly, fast, and unrepentant — part pit fodder, part throat-ripping carnage.
