Gun Barrel is a heavy/power metal band from Cologne, Germany, formed in 2001, delivering classic German-style power metal with heavy metal grit from the Rhineland. The band has built over two decades of traditional metal output.
Gunfire 76 is a side project of Wednesday 13 vocalist Joseph Poole, formed in North Carolina in 2009 alongside guitarist Todd Youth as an outlet for unadorned rock and roll influences including KISS, the New York Dolls, and The Stooges — stripped of the horror themes that define Poole's main act. Their debut album Casualties & Tragedies was released in October 2009, and the project toured the UK and US in its early years. The band represents a more straightforward, glam-inflected rock register distinct from Poole's primary catalog.
Gung-Ho is a crossover/thrash metal band from Hildesheim, Germany, formed in 2011, blending skate-punk energy with thrash metal aggression from Lower Saxony. The band delivers fun, fast, crossover fury.
Named for Odin's spear, Flint, Michigan's Gungnir arrived in 2024 with a mythologically charged approach to black metal — raw, atmospheric, and drawing on Norse imagery to give form to something fierce and uncompromising. A band with purpose already baked into the name.
Gunja is a death metal/hardcore band from Perugia, active since 2006. They merge death metal aggression with hardcore intensity from the Umbrian capital.
Gunjack is a heavy/speed metal band from Milan, formed in 2022. They deliver high-velocity speed metal and classic heavy metal from the Lombard capital.
Gunjah is a funk/thrash metal crossover and nu-metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2014, incorporating funk grooves and nu-metal bounce into a thrash and crossover framework. The band brings a uniquely eclectic approach to Berlin's diverse metal scene.
Gunmouth is a sludge/stoner/doom metal band from Hamburg, Germany, formed in 2021, dealing in low-end-heavy, distortion-drenched slow jams. The band channels the heaviest, grittiest side of Hamburg's rock and metal underground.
Gunpowder is a death/thrash metal band from Ostrava, Czech Republic, formed in 2020, combining the speed of thrash with the heaviness of death metal in the industrial Silesian capital. The band channels the aggressive spirit of Ostrava's storied metal underground.
