Rochester, New York's Gates of Paradox occupy the cerebral end of heavy music, blending progressive metal's compositional complexity with power metal's soaring ambition since 2019. Think intricate arrangements, technical guitar work, and a love of the epic.
Gates of Paris is a symphonic metal project from Nice, France, formed in 2018 by guitarist Remch Carrayrou of Kerion, featuring vocalist Raphael Dantas and drummer Damien Rainaud of Once Human. Their self-titled concept album explores Parisian landmarks and history across twelve tracks with guest musicians from Adagio, Heavenly, and Fairyland.
Gates of Prophecy is an epic heavy/power metal band from Fregona in the Treviso province of Veneto, formed in 2022. They deliver commanding epic metal from the foothills of the Venetian Prealps.
Cleveland's Gatlin started out delivering heavy/power metal with fists clenched and feet planted, though their trajectory has since bent toward hard rock — a range that speaks to their melodic roots and willingness to evolve. Formed in 2020, they bring a muscular energy native to the Rust Belt.
Springfield, Missouri's Gauntlet are a genuinely difficult band to pin down — their sound pulls from sludge, powerviolence, hardcore, and power metal simultaneously, creating something chaotic and genre-agnostic. Formed in 2022, they're proof that genre labels sometimes just get in the way.
Bloomington, Illinois's Gauntlet keep things focused squarely within classic power metal — melodic, soaring, and built on the kind of anthemic songwriting that demands fists in the air. Formed in 2022, they're carrying on a well-worn tradition with conviction.
Gemini Abyss is a symphonic power metal band from Lodz, active since 2013. They deliver orchestrally enhanced power metal from central Poland's largest city.
Pittsburgh's Genghis Khan draw from heavy, power, and speed metal traditions to build music with scope and ambition, active since 2014. Classic influences run strong here, delivered with the no-nonsense energy of Pennsylvania's steel-city underground.
Gentry Lord is a solo progressive and power metal project from Finland, created entirely by Jori von Meriläinen, who composes, performs, and designs all aspects of the project. The 2013 debut Signals From The Mystiverse shifts seamlessly from power to thrash to spacey prog across cosmic and mystical concept narratives, released on CD by Stormspell Records.
