The name signals an attitude, and St. Petersburg, Florida's Generichrist backs it up with death/thrash metal that leans into aggression over ornamentation since 2015. Florida's death metal legacy runs deep here, filtered through a thrash metal lens.
Brutal death metal from Salinas, California, Genethliac have been sharpening their sound since 2014 with the low-end density and surgical aggression the genre demands. Their name refers to astrology of nativities — the stars, apparently, align violently.
Genetic Disorder is a death/thrash metal band from Dusseldorf, Germany, formed in 2016, delivering aggressive, riff-driven extreme metal from the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area. The band combines death metal's brutality with thrash metal's speed and precision.
Santa Cruz's Genghis arrived at melodic death metal after an early reggae phase — an unusual trajectory that lends their sound a certain openness even within a brutal framework. Since settling into the genre around 2008, they have built a solid catalog on the California coast.
Houston's Genital Grinder have been a fixture of the Texas death metal underground since 2002, a two-decade run that puts them among the genre's more resilient local acts. Brutal by name and by nature.
Crushing Grindcore / Death Metal out of Texas.
Gennotype is a melodic death/groove metal band from Albacete in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, formed in 2016, combining Gothenburg-style melodeath with groove metal's rhythmic attack. The band brings melodic extreme metal to the plains of central Spain.
Tucson's Genocaust deliver brutal death metal from the Sonoran Desert with a sound as arid and punishing as the landscape since 2012. Low-tuned, heavy, and unrelenting — desert brutality at its most direct.
