Grawdeth is a melodic black metal band from Älvdalen, Sweden, active since 2020 and forging melodic extremity from one of the most remote communities in the Dalarna region. The project channels the isolation of its setting.
Gray State is a metalcore band from Tampere and Sastamala, Finland, formed in 2015, self-described as 'Sastamalian metalcore,' addressing dark existential themes of societal destruction, mortality, and personal suffering. Their 2025 self-titled release was recorded at Kemian Laboratorio with production by Samuli Kuja-Aro.
Grayblack is a heavy metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2018, delivering straight-ahead metal with the directness and power that define the genre. Their sound is rooted in the foundational heaviness of traditional heavy metal.
San Francisco's Grayceon built their identity around an unlikely core: cello, guitar, and drums weaving together progressive metal with chamber-music intimacy. Since 2007 they've made heavy music that is as likely to ache with melody as it is to crush.
Rooted in the Columbus, Ohio underground, Grayhawk traffic in the soaring, anthemic side of epic heavy metal — think sweeping riffs, clean vocals that carry real conviction, and a reverence for the genre's classic era. Formed in 2018, they wear their influences proudly without sounding like a museum piece.
Grayscale is a gothic metal band from Mikkeli, Finland, formed in 2017, blending dark, moody atmospheres with heavy, melodic instrumentation in the gothic metal tradition. Their sound explores melancholic and introspective themes through a distinctly Finnish lens.
Out of Mandeville, Louisiana, Grayskull fuse the hypnotic crawl of doom with stoner metal's fuzz-drenched warmth, conjuring something heavy and slow enough to sink into the swamp. Since 2021 they've been stacking riffs that belong in the dark.
Graywitch is a heavy metal band from Thessaloniki, formed in 2021. They bring classic heavy metal to Greece's second city.
Grazdech is a thrash metal, metalcore, and punk rock band from Russia, active since 2020 and merging the aggression of thrash with the energy of punk and metalcore dynamics. The project delivers versatile extremity.
