Gloomlurker is a melodic death/doom metal band from Grimsby in northeast England, formed in 2020. They deliver the melancholic intersection of melodic death metal and doom from the Humber coast fishing town.
Atlanta's Gloomreach pulls death-doom into D-beat territory, pairing the glacial weight of death/doom with a rawer, more punk-informed attack that keeps the music from ever fully settling into complacency. Formed in 2018, they're one of Atlanta's more unpredictable extreme metal acts.
Gloomreaper is a doom/death metal band from Liverpool, formed in 2025. They bring crushing doom/death metal to the Merseyside city.
Gloomweaver is a brutal death metal/deathcore band from Southampton and Brighton, formed in 2025. They deliver punishing extremity from the English south coast.
Glencoe, Missouri's Glorious Death has been pushing experimental black and death metal into unpredictable territory since 2014, willing to fracture structure and embrace dissonance in ways that make them stand apart from their more orthodox peers. The name is triumphant; the music is chaos.
New York's Glorious Depravity wears its death metal allegiances without apology — riff-forward, brutal, and unapologetically ugly in the ways that matter. Since 2018 they've been one of the state's reliable purveyors of the form.
Glory Hole is a thrash/death metal band from Vittorio Veneto in the Treviso province, active since 2012. Their provocative name belies the serious aggression of their thrash/death metal from the Veneto Prealps.
Glut! is a brutal death metal band from Camarinas in Galicia, Spain, formed in 2015, delivering punishing death metal from the remote northwestern Atlantic coast. The band channels brutality from the Celtic fringe of Spain.
Minneapolis death metal outfit Glutton for Punishment have been delivering unrelenting heaviness since 2014. Their approach is blunt and carnivorous, rooted firmly in the old-school tradition of American brutality.
