Galar is a black/doom/death metal project from Ireland, active since 2010 and merging three extreme metal genres into a single devastating sonic force. The project explores the darkest intersections of black, doom, and death metal.
Memphis, Tennessee's Galaxicon have built a catalog of sludge and doom metal since 2011, drawing on the South's tradition of slow, heavy, and dread-soaked music.
Galg is a depressive black/doom metal/drone project from Nijmegen, formed in 2014. Their Dutch name — meaning 'gallows' — captures the bleak, execution-themed character of their extreme music.
A New York doom metal act navigating the waters between psychedelic hard rock and crushing low-end heaviness, Galleon have been building their slow, majestic sound since 2015.
Los Angeles's Gallery, formed in 2022, work in the grey zone between sludge and doom — music that feels deliberately paced, dense with texture, and more interested in weight than speed.
Gallileous is a stoner/doom metal band from Wodzislaw Slaski in Silesia, active since 2008. They have evolved from funeral doom through stoner/doom to psychedelic stoner rock, reflecting a constantly shifting sonic vision from the southern Polish coalfields.
Gallons of Mud is a stoner/sludge/doom metal band from Cologne, Germany, formed in 2011, driven by a self-described passion for Sabbath riffs, slow movements, and infectious grooves. Their 2018 full-length God Bless & Fuck You was recorded and mixed by bassist Steve Albino, delivering seven tracks of doomy, groove-laden stoner metal.
Gallow God is a doom metal band from London, active since 2010. They deliver the crushing, ponderous heaviness of traditional doom from the British capital, their name evoking execution and divine judgment.
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.
