Elizabeth, New Jersey thrash act Gargoyle channels the caustic energy of classic speed and thrash metal into a punishing and direct style. Formed in 2021, they keep the attack sharp and the tempo aggressive.
Garland is a melodic doom/gothic metal band from Varena in southern Lithuania, formed in 2023. They blend melodic doom with gothic atmosphere from the Lithuanian countryside.
Rising from the high plains of Amarillo, Texas, Garthok has been dealing in bone-dry stoner and doom metal since 2012 — a fitting sound for the flat, punishing landscape of the Texas panhandle. Slow, hazy, and heavy.
Gas Axe is a sludge/doom metal band from Wales, formed in 2014. They deliver crushing sludge and doom metal from the Welsh underground.
Gas Giant is a stoner/doom metal band from Amsterdam, active since 2000. Over two-and-a-half decades of massive stoner doom from the Dutch capital make them one of the country's most enduring heavy acts.
Gate 9 is a doom/heavy/stoner metal band from Horten on the Oslofjord, active since 2002. Over two decades of doom and stoner metal from the Vestfold coast make them one of Norway's most enduring acts in the genre.
Named for the mythological passage of true dreams, New York's Gate of Horn weave together sludge, stoner, and doom into a hazy, lumbering mass that feels ancient and psychedelic at once. Active since 2014, they remain one of the more atmospheric acts in the tri-state heavy underground.
Gateway is a Belgian death/doom solo project by the artist known as "R," based in Bruges, whose 2023 debut Galgendood on Transcending Obscurity Records was hailed as one of the year's strongest death doom records. The album's primitive, cavernous sound is paired with artwork by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, reflecting a bleak medieval aesthetic.
Baltimore's Gateway to Hell deal in the slow, oppressive weight of doom metal with a traditional heavy metal backbone — riffs that lurch and crush rather than race. Active since 2014, they're a reliable presence in Maryland's enduring underground metal community.
