Gooseflesh is a groove/thrash metal band from Trollhättan, Sweden, active since 2019 and delivering heavy, rhythmic riffage from this western Swedish industrial city. The project channels the headbanging immediacy of groove metal.
Goosefleshed is a Helsinki-based deathgrind duo formed in 2025 by P.M. and D.W., self-described as 'Finnish horrid deathgrind,' targeting fans of early Xysma, early Bolt Thrower, Impetigo, and Pungent Stench. Their debut demo Pissed, Fucked, Slammed delivers four tracks of chaotic, brutal grindcore.
