Scranton's Graphic Violence have been dealing in no-frills thrash metal since 2013, the kind rooted in aggression rather than pageantry. Their name is a promise, and their riffs make good on it.
Philadelphia's Grass approach sludge metal with the patient heaviness of a city that knows how to grind — slow, ugly, and purposeful. Their sound is soil and concrete, rooted firmly in the low-end traditions of the form since 2016.
Brooklyn's Grass take the stoner metal template and run it through New York City noise and nervous energy, ending up somewhere perpetually hazy and unresolved. A different beast from their Philly namesake, they've been tilling that fertile sonic ground since 2016.
Death metal act from the eastern Slovak town of Stropkov, active since 2013 and bringing over a decade of brutality from a small-town setting. Their dedication to death metal from an unlikely locale speaks to the genre's universal reach.
Grassroll is a southern metal/grindcore band from Piraeus, the port city of Athens, formed in 2013. Their unusual genre blend — southern metal's swagger fused with grindcore's velocity — creates a distinctive hybrid from the Greek harbor city.
Grate is a sludge/doom/industrial metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, active since 2014 and merging the crushing weight of sludge and doom with industrial metal's mechanical intensity. The project delivers multi-layered heaviness.
Grattler is a black metal project from Merching in Bavaria, Germany, formed in 2022, whose name is Bavarian dialect for "scoundrel" or "ruffian." The project channels raw black metal with Bavarian rural character.
Gratwanderung is a black metal project from Trier, Germany, formed in 2012, whose name means "ridge walk" or "tightrope walk" in German. The project has maintained over a decade of black metal from Germany's oldest city.
Grauen is a black metal project from Bochum in the Ruhr Valley, Germany, formed in 2017, whose name means "horror" or "dread" in German. The project channels dark, atmospheric black metal from the industrial Ruhr heartland.
