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.
Gates of Doom is an epic death/black metal band from Cervignano del Friuli, active since 2015, having evolved from earlier melodic death/power metal origins. Their shift toward epic extremity reflects a darkening creative vision from the Friulian plains.
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.
