Vienna's Grimms Eye are a three-piece formed in 2017 who fuse hardcore punk aggression with sludge and doom metal riffing into a dense, confrontational sound. Their discography includes the albums Act! and Throne (2022), the latter a ten-track statement of doom-laden punk hostility.
Grimmthurs is a blackened death/thrash metal band from Odense, Denmark, formed in 2007, combining three extreme metal subgenres into a ferocious, multi-pronged attack. The band has built nearly two decades of activity, named after the Norse frost giants.
Grimner is a folk/viking metal band from Motala, Sweden, active since 2014 and weaving Scandinavian folk traditions and Norse mythology into heavy, engaging metal. The project channels the spirit of the Viking Age through modern metal.
Grimness is a black metal band from Szeged, Hungary, active since 2012 and forging cold, unrelenting black metal from southern Hungary. Over a decade of activity reflects a steadfast commitment to the genre's darkest traditions.
Vienna's Grimnir play a German-language black metal steeped in historical and existential themes, as evidenced by the epic 15-track compilation album Starhemberg (2018), which draws on Austrian history and takes its name from the 17th-century military commander Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg. Their earlier release Kreuzzug in den Tod established the project's dedication to dense, layered black metal compositions in the national underground tradition.
Grimnis is a blackened deathcore project from Bielefeld, Germany, formed in 2025, fusing black metal's atmospheric darkness with deathcore's crushing breakdowns. The project is one of the newest entries in the evolving German blackened deathcore scene.
Grimnismal is a pagan/black/doom metal band from Svendborg, Denmark, active since 2001, named after the Eddic poem where Odin reveals his many names. The band evolved from raw pagan black metal toward a more melodic pagan doom approach over their two-decade career.
