Bozeman, Montana's Galvanist are one of the more unusual things growing out of Big Sky Country — an experimental doom/death outfit that treats genre boundaries as suggestions rather than rules. Formed in 2022, they push dissonance and heaviness into genuinely strange configurations.
Cleveland's Galvanized bring old-school death metal ugliness to the Rust Belt, a city with a long tradition of extreme music running through its bones. Active since 2017, they carry that industrial-city grit into every downtuned riff.
Galvanizer is a Finnish grinding death metal band from Laitila, active since 2013, featuring Vili Mäkinen, Aleksi Vähämäki, Osmo Laaksoharju, and Nico Niemikko. Their catalog spans seven releases from Ground Above through splits with Morbific to the Promo 2024, delivering relentless, aggressive death-grind.
Gamarra is a death metal band from Cambridge, formed in 2020. They deliver death metal from one of England's most academically prestigious cities.
Gamborimbo is a goregrind trio from Osnabruck, Germany, formed in 2022, whose debut Fiesta Mexicana (2022) packs thirteen tracks of humor-laced goregrind into thirty-six minutes. The three-piece of Stefan (drums), Paddy (guitar), and Chewie (vocals) self-produced the album.
Eugene, Oregon's Gamma Knife wield an unlikely but effective fusion of stoner metal's slow churn and death metal's gutting aggression. Active since 2011, they're one of the longer-running acts in the Pacific Northwest's underground and have honed that collision into something genuinely their own.
Gamma Tauri Spawn is a technical brutal death metal quartet from Aachen, Germany, formed in 2023, whose lyrical themes draw on Sumerian mythology and H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic horror. Their 2023 debut EP Vicious Gods Below features six tracks produced and mastered by Fernando Roma, citing influences from Behemoth and Nile.
Gammoth is a death metal band from Leme, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in the early 2000s. The band released the album Blunt Force Trauma in 2005 and later recorded Obliterate at MixMusic Estúdio in Amparo, SP during 2015 and 2016. The band has been on hold since 2017.
Providence, Rhode Island's Gamohra splice melodic death metal's harmonic intelligence into a thrash metal framework built for velocity and brutality. Since 2015, they've been one of the more technically ambitious acts working out of the New England underground.
