Grand Master Krang is a crossover thrash band from Angers, France, formed in late 2017 and fueled by 1980s and 1990s thrash metal and hardcore punk with a pop culture edge. Their 2025 self-titled full-length and earlier EP deliver energetic, riff-driven fury inspired by the Foot Clan and martial arts culture.
Seattle's Grand Moff bring a ruler's command to stoner-doom, their riffs thick and authoritative over a haze of fuzz and feedback. The city's damp heaviness seeps into every groove they've constructed since forming in 2019.
Grand Oak is an Estonian doom/death metal project formed in 2017, combining funeral-paced doom with death metal's guttural intensity. The project channels the weight of ancient oaks through crushing, slow-moving extreme metal.
Grand Old Wrath is a technical death metal band from Nordlingen, Germany, formed in 2017, combining complex technical proficiency with death metal's brutality from the medieval Swabian town. The band brings precision-crafted tech-death to the Bavarian countryside.
Grand Summoner is a black metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland, formed in 2024, with releases including their self-titled album and Vile Intentions. Their sound channels the dark, aggressive intensity of Finnish black metal.
Formed in Twente, Netherlands in 2009 as The Company of Undertakers before adopting their current name, Grand Supreme Blood Court features core members from Dutch death metal institution Asphyx, including vocalist Martin van Drunen, guitarist Eric Daniels, and drummer Bob Bagchus. Their sole full-length Bow Down Before the Blood Court, released on Century Media Records in November 2012, is a down-tuned, old-school death metal statement drawing from Slaughter, Necrovore, and early Malhavoc. The band went on hiatus after 2015 and quietly returned in 2020.
Tampa's Grand Vulcanus carry the torch of Florida thrash with a fiery intensity that suits their volcanic name. Formed in 2021, they've tapped directly into the city's storied extreme metal heritage and weaponized it into shredding, sharp-edged aggression.
Grandad is a blackened hardcore/sludge metal band from London, formed in 2023. Their ironic name belies the crushing aggression of their blackened sludge from the British capital.
GrandExit is a progressive death/thrash metal band from Västerås, Sweden, active since 2013 and blending progressive ambition with the aggression of death and thrash metal. The project pushes boundaries through compositionally complex extremity.
