Ljubljana-based death metal and grindcore outfit formed in 2018, delivering rapid-fire extremity from Slovenia's capital. Their grinding assault combines the brutality of both genres into a concentrated sonic battering ram.
Newly formed in 2025, Glizzy Gobbler throws the entire brutal death metal playbook at the wall — slam, goregrind, grindcore, and sheer disgusting force — packaged inside a name that refuses to take itself seriously. The music does not share that restraint.
Arvada, Colorado's Glutgnar has been delivering grindcore with maximum hostility and minimum runtime since 2011 — the genre's fundamental promise upheld faithfully. Short songs, loud everything, no apologies from the Front Range.
Gnarparfarlen is a German black metal and grindcore project active since 2009, fusing the tremolo-picked fury of black metal with grindcore's chaotic brevity. The project operates at the volatile intersection of two of extreme metal's most intense subgenres.
Gnida is a brutal death metal/grindcore band from Krakow, active since 2012. They deliver grinding brutality from Poland's cultural capital.
Gnoj is a death metal and grindcore act from Belgrade, Serbia, formed in 2025. Their name — meaning 'pus' in Serbian — sets the tone for their visceral sonic assault.
Goat Eater is a grindcore band from Novi Sad, Serbia, blasting since 2013. They are part of the Vojvodina capital's active punk and extreme metal underground.
Goat Vomit is a two-member extreme metal project from Saint-Nicolas, Belgium, fusing black metal with enough death metal influence to give the sound added heft and brutality. Their 2017 debut Tormenting the Holy was recorded and mixed in just four days, yielding six tracks of raw, anti-religious aggression in twenty-one minutes.
