Denver's Glacial Tomb work in a devastating three-way collision of black, death, and sludge metal, and the result sounds like being buried under a collapsing mountain in the coldest possible winter. Formed in 2017, they're one of Colorado's most formidable extreme acts.
Glarus is a sludge/post-metal band from Manchester, formed in 2017. They blend crushing sludge with expansive post-metal dynamics from one of England's most musically fertile cities.
Portland's Glasghote drags sludge through the mud of doom, coiling feedback and suffocating low-end into something that sounds like the Pacific Northwest itself — wet, gray, and pressing down. Since 2017 they've been one of the city's most punishing underground outfits.

Gloomy Sunday is a sludge/doom metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, active since 2007 and delivering nearly two decades of crushing heaviness from the Swedish metal capital. Their longevity makes them one of Gothenburg's more enduring doom acts.
