Grindfernö is a grindcore and death metal project from Zaragoza, Spain, formed in 2023 by Avellano and Pablo, who are also active in numerous other bands including Mobcharge, Proyecto Terror, and Kärnvapen Attack. Their releases Numbers and Human Stupidity channel relentless extreme metal energy from deep within the Spanish underground.
Stockholm death/thrash metal and grindcore act launched in 2025, combining the ferocity of multiple extreme subgenres into a relentless sonic barrage. Their grinding assault reflects the newest generation of Swedish extreme music.
Groningen-based four-piece rooted in grindcore, hardcore, sludge, and powerviolence since 2005, navigating across subgenres while maintaining a foundation of blistering extremity. Members later formed the collective Onhou, continuing their impact on northern Netherlands' heavy music landscape.
Grindcore act split between Breznica and Stropkov in eastern Slovakia, active since 2016 and delivering blasting extremity with irreverent humor suggested by their name. Their rapid-fire sonic assaults carry the confrontational spirit central to the grindcore tradition.
Grindstone is a death metal, grindcore, and hardcore band from Ravensburg in Upper Swabia, Germany, formed in 2022, delivering a three-way collision of extreme styles. The band channels furious intensity from the south German countryside.
Grindustry is a brutal death metal and grindcore band from Doetinchem, Netherlands, active since 2019 and merging industrial-strength brutality with grinding velocity. The project's name reflects its mechanized approach to extreme metal.
Grindzilla is a goregrind and grindcore act from Gomel, Belarus, formed in 2015, whose releases include the 2015 demo and the 2018 EP Toshinquandon. Their tracks are short, chaotic bursts of grinding metal, exemplified by the one-minute single King Kong Kamikaze.
Griszmo are a Vienna-based multi-vocal grindcore and crust punk outfit whose sound drags death metal, thrash, and hardcore punk into a blunt, politically confrontational blend. Their 2019 album Vehement documents this aggressive collision of styles with tracks like Glastroika.
Formed in Lille, France in 1998, Gronibard play a gleefully offensive strain of goregrind delivered with studied irreverence, playing Maryland Death Fest in 2005 and touring Europe extensively in their early years. Their self-titled debut LP, released on Bones Brigade Records in 2001, established the band's taste for maximum volume and minimum propriety, followed by We Are French Fukk You before a fourteen-year recording gap ended with Regarde Les Hommes Sucer in 2022. The band operates under a rotating cast of deliberately cartoonish pseudonyms.
