Gate of Mind is a groove metal and thrash band from Montpellier, France, formed in 2016, featuring dual guitars from Tony and Guillaume, vocalist Thibaud, and bassist Benoît. Their releases The Beast Inside, Uprooted, and their 2016 demo showcase aggressive, riff-driven metal from southern France.
Gate to Nowhere is an international instrumental metal project assembled through a musician forum, with members from Belgium, Sweden, Germany, and the UK contributing melodic groove metal without vocals. Their 2016 EP No Need for Words features five tracks of guitar-driven instrumental metal recorded across borders.
Hillsboro, Oregon's Gates of Age bring a melodic sensibility to groove metal, threading hooks through a wall of heavy rhythm guitar that gives their music a sense of forward momentum. A relatively young band, formed in 2022, they show promise in crafting accessible yet muscular metal.
Hailing from New Alexandria, Pennsylvania, Gates of Hell deal in straightforward, punishing death metal built on downtuned riffs and grim intent. Formed in 2020, they're one of the more unassuming yet reliable entries in the rural underground.
Los Angeles's Gauntlet play heavy metal with a hard rock swagger, leaning into classic tones and direct songwriting since their 2022 formation. Unpretentious and built for volume, they carry the spirit of the Sunset Strip's heavier end.
Long Island's Gaveldown have been hammering out groove-inflected thrash from Deer Park since 2009, one of the more persistent presences in New York's suburban metal underground. Their riffs lock into a mid-tempo pocket that makes their music feel both heavy and deeply listenable.
Baltimore's Gazzmask are one of the newer industrial metal acts to emerge from the East Coast underground, grafting mechanical groove and thrash aggression onto a cold, processed sound aesthetic. Formed in 2024, they're still in early days but signal an interesting direction.
Gemorah is a groove metal band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2019, delivering heavy, rhythmic riffing from the Catalan capital. The band channels groove metal's percussive power with Mediterranean intensity.
Grand Rapids, Michigan's Genetic Drift bring together groove metal, thrash, and metalcore in a way that prioritizes physical impact over genre purity since 2015. Heavy enough to satisfy headbangers, structured enough to keep it from descending into chaos.
