Baltimore's Gazzmask are one of the newer industrial metal acts to emerge from the East Coast underground, grafting mechanical groove and thrash aggression onto a cold, processed sound aesthetic. Formed in 2024, they're still in early days but signal an interesting direction.
Gebbeth is a heavy/thrash metal band from Wroclaw, active since 2012. They deliver classic thrash and heavy metal from the Lower Silesian capital.
Out of Pomeroy, Ohio, Geezus came out swinging in 2019 with a death/thrash hybrid that favors blunt-force riffing over technicality. Gritty, no-frills, and delivered with genuine menace.
Gefrierbrand is a death/thrash metal five-piece from Pforzheim, Germany, formed in 2012, whose track Nekromantik showcases their extreme metal approach combining black and death metal elements. The band features a dual-guitar lineup with members Herr S., Simon, Frosch, Torsten, and Jansen.
Gehen is a post-metalcore band from Paris, France, formed in 2020, blending the emotional intensity of post-metal with metalcore's dynamics across releases Rêve Noir and Tears to Dance To. Their track titles like Cage of Pain and Stain of Ashes reflect introspective, emotionally charged themes.
One of the longer-running acts in American black metal and hardcore crossover territory, Reno's Gehenna has been active since 1997 and forged a sound that treats both genres as equals. Confrontational, uncompromising, and built to last.
Gehennah is a black/thrash metal band from Forshaga, Sweden, active since 2015 and delivering raw, aggressive crossover fury from the Värmland countryside. The project merges black metal's darkness with thrash's velocity.
Paducah, Kentucky's Gemini Lounge only formed in 2025, but they arrived with a sound that blends deathcore heaviness with thrash riffing and death metal brutality. Brand new, but already pointed in a clear direction.
Genepool is a death/thrash metal/metalcore band from Glasgow and Kilmarnock, active since 2003. Over two decades they have delivered aggressive extreme metal from the Scottish Lowlands.
