Minneapolis's Gallowglass Scourge traffic in the murky territory between melodic death and doom, piling on dirge-like weight while keeping the riffs precise and cutting. A young act formed in 2022, they've already staked out a sound that feels both crushing and purposeful.
Brutal Melodic Death Metal from College Station.
Drawing their name from ancient Mesopotamian demonology, Denver's Gallu Xul play death metal with an occult gravity that suits the mythology. Founded in 2020, they bring a deliberate menace to Colorado's growing extreme metal community.
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.
