Groove and heavy metal act with hard rock leanings from the village of Pata, formed in 2024 and delivering riff-driven energy from rural western Slovakia. Their accessible approach channels the power of classic heavy rock and modern metal grooves.
Formed in 2005 in Rattenberg, Tyrol, Garagedays play straight-ahead, 1980s-rooted heavy metal with hard rock swagger, having released albums including Dark and Cold (2011), Passion of Dirt (2014), and Here It Comes (2018), the latter produced by Flemming Rasmussen of Metallica fame. They have toured alongside Grave Digger, Master, and UDO, and worked closely with King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque on their recordings.
Garant is a power/speed metal band from Sobeslav, Czech Republic, formed in 2009, delivering high-velocity European-style power metal with classic speed metal roots. The band channels the Czech tradition of energetic, double-kick-driven heavy metal.
Garave is a four-piece doom and sludge metal band from Grenoble, France, formed in 2018, blending doom, black metal, and rock influences through a lineup of PMGL on guitar, BC on drums, JMR on vocals, and JMC on bass.

Brand new out of Bozeman, Montana, Garbarge wasted no time in 2025 launching a collision of death metal brutality and grindcore speed that sounds exactly as chaotic as their deliberately mangled name suggests.
Los Angeles psychedelic sludge merchants Garbeast layer sun-scorched fuzz over cavernous doom tempos, conjuring something hallucinatory and heavy in equal measure. Since forming in 2021 they've leaned hard into the ritualistic, slow-burning end of the LA underground.
Gardarika is a thrash/progressive metal band from Moscow, Russia, active since 2008 and blending the aggression of thrash with progressive complexity over more than fifteen years. The project's name references the Old Norse term for the lands of Rus.
