South Holland black metal act featuring the dual-vocal assault of Cerberus and Narzug, whose frightening screams drive songs like 'Gore Whore Slut' and 'Worship Antihumankind' into ferocious territory. Their woest (wild) and aggressive approach to the genre made an impact at the 'Disciples of Blasphemy' showcase in Bodegraven.
Black/death metal act from Michalovce in eastern Slovakia, active since 2016 and bringing extreme darkness from the country's far east. Their sound carries the uncompromising aggression that defines the intersection of black and death metal.
Gohr Al Krohn is a one-man symphonic black metal project from Paris, France, born in 1999 and reignited in 2024 by sole creator M.d. Valnoir. Their demo La Cour de Lucifer, originally recorded in late 1999, was officially released in 2024 through Unveiled in Death and Tour de Garde, blending symphonic grandeur with raw black metal across six tracks.

Goia Paranoia is a sludge/stoner/doom metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in 2024 and dealing in heavy, crushing riffs from Sweden's metal capital. The project merges three heavy genres.
Goifer is a raw black metal solo project from Zurich by the artist BOOGG, formed in 2021 and affiliated with the Helvetic Underground Committee. The 2021 demo Grabschlofer drew on Swiss folklore and mythology, earning Album of the Week recognition from ViaOmega and selling through multiple cassette pressings.
Going Home in a Body Bag is a melodic deathcore band from Mönsterås and Nybro, Sweden, active since 2014 and delivering aggressive breakdowns and melodic leads from the Småland countryside. The project channels the intensity of deathcore through a Swedish lens.
Gojira is a progressive groove/death metal band from Ondres in southwestern France, formed in 2023 and not to be confused with the legendary Gojira from Bayonne. Their sound draws from the progressive and groove metal traditions of the broader French extreme metal scene.
