Fleetwood, Pennsylvania's Gloominous Doom is one of the underground's stranger propositions — progressive death and thrash metal with recorded ska influences woven in, making for something genuinely difficult to categorize and harder to ignore. They've been at it since 2015.
Glory Hole is a thrash/death metal band from Vittorio Veneto in the Treviso province, active since 2012. Their provocative name belies the serious aggression of their thrash/death metal from the Veneto Prealps.
Glote is a crossover thrash band from Santos, São Paulo, formed in 2023, with a lineup of Felipe Gameiro on vocals, Bruno Cabaleiro on guitars, Muxu on bass, and Lucas Santos on drums. Their debut EP The Lost Years (2023), recorded at Estúdio Warzone in Santos, collects five tracks written between 2019 and 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The release tackles Brazilian social issues including police violence, the precarious health system, and the rise of fascism, firmly in the tradition of politically charged crossover thrash.
Glum is a groove/thrash metal band from Odense, Denmark, formed in 2007, combining groove metal's heavy rhythmic assault with thrash metal's speed. The band has built nearly two decades of activity from Hans Christian Andersen's hometown.
Pennsylvania's Gnargoyles have carved out a grimy niche where crossover thrash collides head-on with death metal ferocity. Their sound is ugly, fast, and unrepentant — part pit fodder, part throat-ripping carnage.
Hagerstown, Maryland's Gnark play crossover thrash with the kind of snarling momentum that makes venues feel smaller than they are. Since forming in 2022, they've honed a caustic blend of circle-pit riffs and hardcore spite.
Blacksburg, Virginia's Gnarwolf channel the raw aggression of crossover thrash through a vicious, no-frills lens. Since 2017, they've refined a feral style that owes as much to hardcore hardcore as it does to classic thrash.
Gnose is a thrash/hardcore band from Betim, Minas Gerais, founded in 2021 by guitarist and vocalist Gustavo Ferreira. The band released the EP Anarco Politicismo in 2022 and the full-length Manifesto Periférico in 2024, both addressing themes of state violence, hypocrisy, and societal injustice. Their confrontational approach aligns them with the politically engaged wing of Brazilian crossover hardcore.
Gnosis is a technical thrash metal band from Bautzen in Saxony, Germany, formed in 2018, incorporating jazz and punk influences into their thrash framework. The band's unusual blend of genres creates an unpredictable, technically demanding style of thrash metal.
