Odesa-based project launched in 2025, merging black metal, death metal, doom metal, and grindcore into an eclectic extreme metal fusion. Their genre-spanning approach defies easy categorization through sheer stylistic ambition.
Gust in Grief is a funeral doom/death metal band from Zhukovsky near Moscow, Russia, active since 2012 and delivering glacially slow, suffocating heaviness. Over a decade of activity reflects a commitment to the most oppressive tempos in extreme metal.
New Jersey's Guthook inhabit the most desolate end of funeral doom, stretching songs into extended meditations on grief and decay while weaving in death metal's tonal brutality. Active since 2014, they operate in real slow-motion darkness — the kind that takes hours to lift.
Founded in 2020 in Graz, Guyođ pursue a blackened doom/death metal sound drawing its imagery from ocean depths, Baudelaire's poetry, and Melville's prose, debuting with the 2023 album Heart of Thy Abyss on Grazil Records before releasing the structurally experimental EP Death Throes of a Drowning God in January 2026. Their 2022 split Alluvial Soil with LEHM introduced the project to the underground, and they have steadily built a following in the doom-death community.
Gudvangir is a funeral doom metal project from Norway, formed in 2024. Named after the Icelandic word for sacred fields, they deliver glacial funeral doom from the Scandinavian underground.
Gvorn is a doom/death metal band from Yekaterinburg, Russia, active since 2020 and channeling crushing heaviness from the Urals, where Europe meets Asia. The project merges doom's oppressive weight with death metal's brutality.
Gyilkos is a band from Budapest, Hungary, that evolved from hardcore roots in 2015 into a crushing blend of sludge, doom metal, and hardcore. The project's name, meaning "murderer" in Hungarian, reflects the punishing weight of their later sound.
Gólgota is a stoner/doom metal band from Santa Catarina, Brazil, founded by guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Kauan Lourenço Branco to explore slow, fuzz-heavy, and psychedelic heavy music. The band released the album Skjebne in March 2025, continuing their exploration of dark, atmospheric doom with brooding riffs and layered instrumentation.
