Germen is a death metal and goregrind band from Elche, Spain, formed in 2018, delivering grotesque, grinding death metal from the Valencian Community. The band channels gory brutality from the city famous for its palm groves.
Named for a tiny Upper Peninsula town, Lansing's Germfask is a death metal and noise outfit that drags Michigan's industrial decay into the pit, layering corrosive texture over already brutal riffs. They've been corroding eardrums since 2020.
Bay Area band Geryon blends melodic death metal's emotive sweep with metalcore's rhythmic punch, crafting songs that hit hard while still leaving room for melody. They've been honing their hybrid sound in California since 2013.
New York's Geryon pushes death metal into stranger territory, incorporating avant-garde elements that break up the brutality with dissonance and unexpected structural turns. Their music resists comfortable categorization and is all the more compelling for it.
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.
Emerging from Rockport, Massachusetts in 2022, Gestation plays death metal that is methodical and crushing — the kind that builds pressure slowly before erupting in bursts of precise brutality. There's a New England grimness to their approach.
Get Away is a death metal act from Borkovany, Czech Republic, formed in 2021, working in the tradition of straightforward, riff-focused death metal. The project is building its presence in the Czech underground death metal scene.
Despite the countrypolitan jab in their name, Tampa's Get Out of Nashville plays deathcore and death metal with the blunt aggression of a band that has no patience for anything polished. Since 2021, they've been a loud refusal of everything glossy.
Get Rich or Die Asshole is a solo death metal and grindcore project from Paris, France, created by Guillaume Boéréma in 2014, who handles vocals, guitar, composition, and drum programming. Releases including the self-titled album (2015) and Overdrive (2018) were entirely produced and mixed by Boéréma at Parabellum Art Studio.
