Gloosh is a black metal band from Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, active since 2020 and forging cold, aggressive black metal from the banks of the Yenisei River. The project draws from the harsh Siberian climate.
Gloria Victis is a heavy metal band from Almere, formed in 2012. Their Latin name — meaning 'glory to the vanquished' — signals the noble, battle-themed character of their heavy metal from the Flevoland polder city.
Gloriam Satanas is a symphonic black metal band from Campana, Argentina, formed around 2018–2020, featuring vocalist Gabriel Teggi (Tormentor), guitarist Agustín Ávila (Valtasael), bassist Maximiliano Gallipi (Barbol), and drummer Damián Cisneros (Dr. Satan). The band released their debut demo "Spell of Possession" in September 2020, followed by their first full-length "There Above, Here Below" in September 2022, and the concept album "Blood Mysticism" — exploring vampirism and lycanthropy — in November 2025.
Istanbul power and heavy metal act founded in 1995 by guitarist Ahmet Ucankus and vocalist Hakan Kul, standing as one of Turkey's longest-running traditional metal bands. Their heroic sound has carried the torch for classic heavy metal in Turkey for nearly three decades.
Glorifiera is a raw/depressive black metal band from Malmö, Sweden, active since 2016 and channeling despair and aggression through lo-fi, emotionally charged black metal. The project explores the most sorrowful reaches of the genre.
Memphis, Tennessee's Glorifying Dying channels black metal's nihilistic core with a directness that fits the city's long relationship with music made at the edge. Since 2015 they've been producing harsh, uncompromising black metal from the Deep South underground.
Founded in Paris in December 2002, Glorior Belli emerged as one of France's most distinctive black metal acts, distinguished by an increasingly pronounced integration of Southern rock, blues, and doom into their sound. Early albums like Manifesting the Raging Beast on Southern Lord and Meet Us at the Southern Sign on Candlelight Records built a reputation for orthodox ferocity, while The Great Southern Darkness on Metal Blade in 2011 fully realized their swampy, genre-crossing vision. Their idiosyncratic approach to black metal remains a reference point for the genre's experimental edges.
Glencoe, Missouri's Glorious Death has been pushing experimental black and death metal into unpredictable territory since 2014, willing to fracture structure and embrace dissonance in ways that make them stand apart from their more orthodox peers. The name is triumphant; the music is chaos.
New York's Glorious Depravity wears its death metal allegiances without apology — riff-forward, brutal, and unapologetically ugly in the ways that matter. Since 2018 they've been one of the state's reliable purveyors of the form.
