Lake County, Illinois quartet Garden of Darkness blends gothic gloom, power metal ambition, and progressive architecture into a dramatic and ornate style that emerged in 2020. Equal parts darkness and grandeur, they occupy an unusually wide corner of heavy music.
Gargola is a heavy/power metal band from Virreyes, Buenos Aires, first active from 1995 with themes centred on social denouncement and political injustice. The band contributed the track "Battle Hymn" to the 2004 Argentine Manowar tribute Muerte al Falso Metal and "The Ripper" to the 2005 Judas Priest tribute A Tribute to the Priest.
Portland, Oregon's Gargoyle draws from the deep well of classic heavy and power metal, favoring melodic hooks and traditional song structures over modern extremity. Their 2021 formation places them among a new generation reviving the genre's most anthemic qualities.
Tulsa, Oklahoma's Garrett Campbell started as a symphonic power metal project in 2023, pairing high-pitched, soaring vocals with orchestral arrangements and an enormous sense of dramatic scale. The project has since evolved toward more pop-influenced territory, but its metal roots remain audible.
Gates of Chaos is a symphonic power metal band from Rome, formed in 2017. They deliver orchestrally enhanced power metal from the Italian capital.
