Kansas City's Gourmand approach progressive technical death metal with the conceptual ambition the name implies since 2017 — feasting on harmonic complexity and rhythmic density, building compositions that demand attention and reward it.
Gourva is a doom and drone metal project from Pohjois-Karjala in eastern Finland, one of the scene's longest-running acts, creating hypnotic, psychedelic-tinged extreme heaviness. Their releases Another World and Intiaani Manaus explore vast sonic spaces through droning, repetitive structures.
Gout is a death metal/goregrind band from London, formed in 2022. They channel visceral extremity from the London underground.
Cleveland's Gouted Corpse emerged in 2024 with the kind of putrid, bone-grinding death metal that feels native to the Rust Belt's industrial decay. Raw and unpolished, they channel old-school brutality without apology.
Govor is a black metal project from Croatia, formed in 2018. Their name — Croatian for 'speech' — brings a linguistic element to their black metal.
Gow is a heavy metal band from Turin, formed in 2019. They deliver classic heavy metal from the Piedmontese capital.
Goya is a solo death metal and grindcore project based in Avellaneda, Argentina, operating across genres including slam and brutal death. The project released the demo "La gran mentira" on December 17, 2022, a six-track release composed, recorded, and mastered between April and December of that year, with production handled under the handle @xnchrst. The concise, under-eight-minute runtime and numerically titled tracks reflect a stripped-down, high-intensity approach to the death-grind format.
Goytaca is a thrash metal band from Dusseldorf, Germany, formed in 2015, named after an indigenous Brazilian people. The band brings South American-influenced thrash aggression to the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area.
