Gateways to Oblivion is a doom metal project from São Paulo, Brazil, formed by Mateus Henrique. The project released multiple albums in rapid succession, including Withering in the Dark (May 2022), Subterranean Faith (August 2022), The Aquatic Witch (November 2022), and The Arcane Equinox (February 2023). Their sound explores dark, atmospheric doom in the tradition of underground Brazilian doom metal.
Gathering Darkness is a death/doom and brutal death metal band from Santander in Cantabria, Spain, active since 2000, evolving from early death/doom into a more brutal approach. The band has built a quarter-century of extreme metal from Spain's northern coast.
Gainesville, Florida's Gaul draw from black metal's icy fury and doom's crushing gravity, weaving them together into something desolate and slow-burning. Formed in 2021, they're a young band already tapping into something hauntingly heavy.
Gaupa is a psychedelic doom/stoner metal band from Falun, Sweden, active since 2018 and blending mind-expanding psychedelia with crushing doom from the Dalarna region. The project channels Swedish heavy music's most adventurous impulses.
Gavelkind is a doom/death metal band from Durham in northeast England, formed in 2025. Named after the medieval system of land inheritance, they bring historically informed doom/death to the university city.
Gavran is a sludge/doom metal band from Rotterdam, formed in 2020. They deliver crushing sludge and doom from the Netherlands' largest port city.
Gbvrh is a doom/heavy metal band from Moscow, Russia, active since 2019 and delivering crushing, monolithic heaviness from the Russian capital. The project channels the oppressive weight of doom through heavy metal's classic framework.
Chicago's Geffika layers doom, drone, and sludge into suffocating sonic architecture that moves slow and crushes hard. Since 2010, they have carved a niche in the city's underground with music built for endurance rather than immediacy.
Gelding Moon occupy the bleaker end of the drone and doom spectrum, treating noise as a structural element rather than an afterthought. Active since 2012, their American origins are about all the geography available — the music exists somewhere outside of place entirely.
