Gorekaust is a death metal band from Riihimäki, Finland, formed in 2021, self-described as 'Riihimäki extreme metal terror,' with releases including Ancient Halls of Emptiness, Putrefied Icon, Dismal Necrosis, and Fleshcross. Their sound channels raw, punishing death metal with an emphasis on bleak, oppressive atmospheres.

Gorem is a death-doom metal band from Kiiminki in northern Finland, formed in 2022, merging death metal's aggression with doom metal's deliberate heaviness. Their sound reflects the bleak, frozen landscapes of northern Finland through crushing, slow-building extreme metal.
Formed in Nyköping, Sweden in 1989 under a succession of names before settling on Gorement in 1991, the band recorded their sole full-length The Ending Quest in February 1993, released the following year on Crypta Records. The album captured a raw, mid-paced strain of Swedish death metal before the band shifted direction, eventually dissolving and reforming as the rock-oriented Pipers Dawn by 1996. The Ending Quest has since been recognized as an underappreciated entry in the early Swedish death metal canon.
