Thunderous Groove Metal from Houston.
Houston's Grimlock surfaced in 2024 with a groove metal approach built on thick, mid-paced riffs and a relentless chug — the kind of music that demands movement and doesn't waste time on subtlety. A young band with a clear and punishing purpose.
Grimlord is a black metal project from Grenoble in the French Alps, active since 2007. They channel mountain-cold black metal from the alpine city surrounded by the Chartreuse, Vercors, and Belledonne ranges.
Grimm is a black metal band from Kuusamo in northeastern Finland, formed in 2014, channeling the frozen isolation and vast wilderness of their Arctic homeland. Their sound reflects the raw, atmospheric strain of Finnish black metal shaped by extreme northern landscapes.
Grimmer is a death metal and metalcore band from Czechowice-Dziedzice, Poland, active since 2016 and fusing death metal heaviness with metalcore's dynamic energy. The project emerges from the southern Silesian metalworking region.
Grimmferd is a black metal project from Norway, formed in 2025. They deliver raw black metal from the Norwegian underground.
Grimmind is a raw black metal project from Germany, formed in 2018, delivering stripped-down, lo-fi black metal with maximum intensity. The project channels pure aggression through intentionally primitive production.
A brand-new death metal act from Stainach in the Styrian Alps, Grimming formed in 2024 and quickly signed to Napalm Records after their debut track Lindwurm racked up 100,000 views in spring 2025 and drew attention to their fusion of technical death metal with local alpine legends and folklore. Their follow-up single Wüdschitz, themed around Styrian poaching traditions, deepened this regional mythological focus.
Grimmness is a black metal/crust project from Lancashire, formed in 2014, having evolved from earlier power electronics and noise origins. Their genre journey from harsh noise to black metal/crust reflects a consistently confrontational artistic vision.
