Genocide are a heavy/thrash metal band from Vorarlberg, Austria, whose Bandcamp page is shared with the American death metal act Genocide Pact—the two are unrelated. The Vorarlberg outfit works in a classic thrash and heavy metal mold typical of the Austrian regional underground scene.
Germ Bomb is a thrash metal and crossover band from Gothenburg, Sweden, active since 2010 and delivering high-energy, riff-driven crossover fury from Sweden's metal capital. Over a decade of activity reflects a steadfast commitment to thrash.
Pennsylvania's Germ U.S.A. plays crossover thrash with the manic energy of hardcore punks who discovered Slayer and never looked back. Active since 2022, their sound is fast, grimy, and entirely indifferent to polish.
Jacksonville, Florida's Gerovit takes its name from a Slavic war deity and delivers a thrash-forward black metal attack to match — fast, aggressive, and steeped in ancient menace. Formed in 2023, they're already hitting with conviction.
Oklahoma City's Gestalt is a genre-agnostic wrecking ball, routing thrash, death metal, grindcore, and crossover through the same reckless engine since 2018. The parts shouldn't add up to a coherent whole — somehow they do.
From Richland, Washington, Gevurah weaves symphonic grandeur into black metal's ferocity, producing music that feels simultaneously vast and vicious. Since 2011, they've drawn on Kabbalistic imagery for a sound that aspires to something genuinely cosmic.
Ghetto Ghouls is a thrash metal/crossover band from Trondheim, formed in 2020. They deliver high-energy crossover thrash from Norway's third city.
Named for the three-headed kaiju and hailing from Hannahville, Michigan, Ghidora plays thrash metal that shares its namesake's chaotic energy — riffs that spiral in multiple directions before converging into something devastating. Formed in 2017.
Ghord is a death metal and thrash band from the Nancy region of France, formed in 2004, whose motto is 'One word: Efficiency, the rest is just literature.' Their catalog includes Goddess of Darkness, Underworld in Mourning, and All My Live, emphasizing direct, no-frills aggression.
