Reno's Goblin Pussy play sludge metal with the city's characteristic edge — abrasive, feedback-drenched, and resistant to easy categorization. A 2024 newcomer, they've already planted their flag in the muck.
Founded in Rome, Italy in December 2010, Goblin Rebirth was formed by original Goblin members Fabio Pignatelli and Agostino Marangolo — the rhythm section behind iconic horror soundtracks including Suspiria — alongside new collaborators. Their 2015 self-titled debut album blended the gothic organ textures and cinematic tension of classic Goblin with fresh compositional directions, preserving the horror-prog atmosphere fans expected. The band stands as a direct continuation of one of Italy's most influential progressive rock legacies.
Albany, New York's Goblinectomy apply surgical brutality to their brutal death metal, surgically excising anything soft or restrained from their compositions. Formed in 2022, they are blunt, precise, and relentlessly heavy.
Goblins Blade is a power metal band from Ludwigsburg, Germany, founded in 2018 by Jorg M. Knittel, who was a founding member of Sacred Steel and left after six albums. After releasing the Awakening EP in 2019, the band signed with Massacre Records and released their debut full-length in 2020.
Goblinsmoker is a sludge/doom metal band from Durham in northeast England, formed in 2018. Their fantasy-referencing name pairs with massive, smoke-heavy sludge doom from the historic university city.
Goch Thezen is a black metal project from Warsaw, formed in 2021. They deliver atmospheric black metal from the Polish capital.
God Against Humanity is a black metal and death metal band from Lille, France, formed in 2018, with releases including the Castle of Dust demo (2018) and the full-length The Judgement. Their sound merges the ferocity of death metal with black metal's atmospheric hostility.
Marrero, Louisiana's God Awful channel the Southern bayou's humidity and menace into a death/thrash attack that sounds like it's been marinating in bad intentions since 2010. Their riffs carry both the groove of the Gulf Coast and the violence of classic death-thrash.
God B.C. is a thrash metal band from Helsingborg, Sweden, active since 2013 and delivering over a decade of aggressive thrash from the Øresund coast. The project channels relentless thrash energy.
