Drawing their name from ancient Mesopotamian demonology, Denver's Gallu Xul play death metal with an occult gravity that suits the mythology. Founded in 2020, they bring a deliberate menace to Colorado's growing extreme metal community.
Named for the fearsome medieval Gaelic-Norse mercenary warriors, Texas's Gallóglaigh arrived in 2025 with a black metal ferocity that lives up to the legacy. Still in their earliest chapter, they signal ambition in both name and sound.
Galpedar is a black metal project from Reggio Emilia, formed in 2020. They deliver atmospheric black metal from the Emilia-Romagna region.
Galskap is a German black metal band based in Berlin, active since 2003, with a catalog spanning Erstschlag, Manifest der Verdammnis, and Kleriker des Wahnsinns. The band has maintained over two decades of consistent black metal output from the German capital.
Galvanic is an atmospheric industrial/gothic metal band from Surrey, formed in 2014. They merge industrial textures with gothic metal's dark romanticism from the English Home Counties south of London.
Bozeman, Montana's Galvanist are one of the more unusual things growing out of Big Sky Country — an experimental doom/death outfit that treats genre boundaries as suggestions rather than rules. Formed in 2022, they push dissonance and heaviness into genuinely strange configurations.
Warwick, Rhode Island's Galvanized fuse thrash metal aggression with metalcore's kinetic energy, channeling the tight-wound intensity of the New England scene into a punishing hybrid. Since 2017 they've been one of the harder-hitting acts in the Ocean State underground.
Cleveland's Galvanized bring old-school death metal ugliness to the Rust Belt, a city with a long tradition of extreme music running through its bones. Active since 2017, they carry that industrial-city grit into every downtuned riff.
Galvanizer is a Finnish grinding death metal band from Laitila, active since 2013, featuring Vili Mäkinen, Aleksi Vähämäki, Osmo Laaksoharju, and Nico Niemikko. Their catalog spans seven releases from Ground Above through splits with Morbific to the Promo 2024, delivering relentless, aggressive death-grind.
