Riverside, California's Guiltholder combine black metal's hostility, death metal's heft, and crust punk's raw political charge into a sound that's aggressive on every axis. Since 2022, they've been one of the more creatively volatile acts to emerge from the inland California extreme underground.
Richland Center, Wisconsin's Guilty of Destruction have been fusing groove metal's locked-in heaviness with metalcore's structural aggression since 2014, producing music built around thick midrange riffs and rhythmic impact. They're the kind of band that sounds best cranked loud in a small room.
Guilty of Reason is a metal band from Strasbourg, France, spreading heavy/thrash/death metal and hardcore since 2004 with unwavering intensity. Their album Shades of Sanity (2013) was produced by Anthony Chognard and mastered at Kohlekeller Studios in Germany.
Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! is a psychedelic stoner/doom metal band from the United Kingdom, active since 2012. Their triple-verdict name captures the unrepentant, hedonistic spirit of their psychedelic stoner doom.

Guitar Heroes is a power metal and heavy metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2016, delivering guitar-driven anthemic metal with the soaring energy and melodic precision the power metal genre demands. Their sound celebrates the instrument at the heart of heavy metal.
Gulag is a Brazilian avant-garde and depressive black metal solo project based in São Paulo, with all instrumentation, vocals, and composition handled by Matheus Cornely. The project released Fantasia in 2023, described as a departure toward sober black metal and dungeon synth aesthetics, incorporating a cover of Nocturnal Depression's "Nostalgia." The project also released Death and Its Roses and the Black Flag single on Bandcamp.
Gulah is a heavy metal and thrash band from the small town of Villardompardo in Jaén, Spain, formed in 2017, channeling old-school aggression through ripping riffs and raw energy. Their sound pays homage to the classic thrash and heavy metal traditions with a distinctly Spanish underground sensibility.
