GoldenPyre is a death metal band from Barroselas, Portugal, active since 1998 — hailing from the same town that hosts the legendary SWR Barroselas Metalfest. Their long tenure makes them veterans of the Portuguese extreme metal underground.

Goldfinger formed in Los Angeles in 1994 and became one of the defining American ska-punk and pop-punk bands of the decade. John Feldmann's songwriting, vocals, and production instincts gave the band a sharp sense of immediacy from the start, with the self-titled debut turning "Here in Your Bedroom" into a scene staple. Hang-Ups expanded the band's identity through "Superman," a song whose life in skate and video-game culture helped Goldfinger reach listeners far beyond punk venues. Stomping Ground, Open Your Eyes, Disconnection Notice, Hello Destiny, The Knife, Never Look Back, and later singles show a band that has moved between goofy velocity, political urgency, and polished modern pop-punk craft. Feldmann's later production career sometimes overshadows Goldfinger, but the band's catalog remains important because it helped make ska-punk bright, fast, and globally portable. They fit punk scope directly through their style and history. At their best, Goldfinger combine horn-driven bounce, tight guitars, and choruses that feel instantly learned, making the songs work in skateparks, festivals, and small rooms with equal efficiency.
Goldsmith is a NWOBHM-inspired heavy metal band from Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria, England, active since 2010 and keeping the flame of classic British heavy metal alive. Their sound draws from the twin-guitar attack and soaring melodies of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
Golfaron is a pagan black metal project from Warsaw, formed in 2016. They channel Slavic pagan themes through black metal from the Polish capital.
Golgata is a Swedish melodic black metal project active since 2018, channeling melodic sensibilities through the intensity of black metal. The project delivers atmospheric extremity.
Dynamic Progressive Metal from Frisco.
San Francisco's Golgatha have been carrying the torch for traditional heavy metal since 2005, with an approach rooted in the genre's classic era — riffs built to last, vocals that soar, and an unshakable reverence for the form.
