Gangrena are a death metal band from Chillán, Ñuble, Chile, formed in 2005 and affiliated with Australis Records. Their 2020 album "Oscuro Tormento," described by the band as their fourth full-length and brutal from start to finish, cemented their standing as one of the more enduring acts in the Chilean provincial death metal underground.
Gangrena Gasosa is a thrash metal and crossover band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who brand their style as "Saravá Metal" — a fusion of metal and hardcore with Umbanda and Afro-Brazilian religious imagery. On stage, each member portrays a specific Afro-Brazilian deity or spirit, making the band's live presentation unique within the Brazilian metal scene. The band released the LP Welcome to Terreiro in 1995 and has remained active for over three decades, issuing the album Figa of the Dark in 2024.
Kingsport, Tennessee's Gangrene Womb play goregrind with the kind of gut-level nastiness that the subgenre demands — fast, foul, and completely committed to its own sickness. Formed in 2022, they bring Appalachian grime to one of metal's most extreme sonic corners.
Gangrenectomy is a slam/brutal death metal band from Catania, Sicily, formed in 2017. They deliver the guttural heaviness of slam death metal from the foot of Mount Etna.
Gangrened is a doom and sludge metal band from Kokkola, Finland, active since 2013, creating 'heavy, noisy, avant-garde and atmospheric sounds' that blur the lines between doom, ambient, and noise. Their releases include Ambient Doom Dream, We Are Nothing, and a split with Hipoxia, reflecting an experimental and genre-defying approach to extreme heaviness.
Gangrenomity is a brutal death metal act from Bellinzona in the Italian-speaking Ticino region of Switzerland, formed in 2014 with members from Insomnia Isterica. Their 2014 demo was a raw, DIY recording with drums captured in a single take and no triggers, yielding three tracks of slamming brutality.
Los Angeles brutal death metallers Gangrenous Consumption operate at the outer limits of heaviness, building their sound on relentless low-end punishment and technical brutality since 2018. They're part of a strong Southern California brutal death scene with no shortage of extremity.
Pennsylvania's Gangrenous Flesh Consumption go all the way down with slam-inflected brutal death metal that prioritizes maximum heaviness above everything else. Since 2021, they've been stacking breakdowns and guttural savagery in one of the East Coast's most fertile extreme metal ecosystems.
