Boston's Gas Attack has been delivering volatile crossover thrash since 2012, tapping the city's deep punk and hardcore roots and fusing them with metal's aggression. Fast, blunt, and built to start pits.
New Castle, Pennsylvania thrash act Gaschamber has been grinding through the genre with blue-collar determination since 2013, rooted in the classic tradition of riff-heavy, mid-tempo aggression. Pennsylvania's industrial corridor produced a fittingly grim project.
Fort Collins, Colorado's GasHead has been fusing the mathematical rigor of progressive metal with thrash's forward momentum since 2003, carving a distinctive niche in Colorado's heavy underground. The result is technical but still volatile, smart but unwilling to sit still.
Gaslarm is a speed/thrash metal band from Värmland, Sweden, active since 2017 and delivering high-velocity aggression from the forested Swedish interior. The project channels the urgency of speed metal and the intensity of thrash.

Gastric Ulcer emerged from Feldkirch in 2005 and blend death metal, thrash, and grindcore into short, socially cutting songs that target trends and cultural absurdities in everyday life.

Gate of Mind is a groove metal and thrash band from Montpellier, France, formed in 2016, featuring dual guitars from Tony and Guillaume, vocalist Thibaud, and bassist Benoît. Their releases The Beast Inside, Uprooted, and their 2016 demo showcase aggressive, riff-driven metal from southern France.
Gatecloser is a heavy/thrash metal band from Forli in Emilia-Romagna, formed in 2022. They bring classic thrash and heavy metal to the Romagna region.
California crossover outfit Gatecrasher play the kind of thrash-fueled hardcore that belongs on sweaty club floors, tight and frantic with a punk-derived chip on their shoulder. Formed in 2019, they hit hard and keep it short.
