Gargoili is a black metal project from Finland, formed in 2019, channeling the frigid intensity and atmospheric darkness of the Finnish black metal tradition. Their sound embraces raw production and bleak aesthetics characteristic of the Nordic underground.
Gargola is a heavy/power metal band from Virreyes, Buenos Aires, first active from 1995 with themes centred on social denouncement and political injustice. The band contributed the track "Battle Hymn" to the 2004 Argentine Manowar tribute Muerte al Falso Metal and "The Ripper" to the 2005 Judas Priest tribute A Tribute to the Priest.
Gargor is a four-piece death/thrash unit from Brussels who emerged in 2022 and have quickly built a catalog with the releases Atrox (2022), Immolate (2023), and Dance of Death (2024). Their music centers on apocalyptic and survival-themed subject matter delivered through tight, riff-driven death-thrash.
Gargouyllas is a thrash and technical death metal band from Tours, France, formed in 2006, worshipping Death, Testament, Decapitated, Suffocation, and Pantera. Their catalog spans from the 2009 demo Land of the Extremos through The Ocean of Perdition and Decadence EP (2012) to remastered material in 2022.
Gargowitch is a black metal and doom band from Creuzier-le-Vieux in the Auvergne region of France, blending occult atmospheres with heavy, doom-laden riffing across releases including Demonic Blues, Cannibal Troten, and Avidee. Their sound merges black metal's darkness with doom metal's crushing weight.
Gargoyl formed in 2018 as a collaboration between Revocation guitarist Dave Davidson and guitarist/vocalist Luke Roberts, who met while on tour and discovered a shared musical sensibility rooted in progressive metal, 1990s grunge, and avant-garde rock. The project's self-titled debut (2020), released via Season of Mist, blends dark, dissonant progressive metal structures with Alice in Chains-influenced vocal harmonies and a brooding alternative rock atmosphere that diverges significantly from Davidson's main band. Rounded out by bassist Brett Leier and drummer James Knoerl, the band demonstrated that Davidson's compositional range extends well beyond death metal's conventional parameters.
Elizabeth, New Jersey thrash act Gargoyle channels the caustic energy of classic speed and thrash metal into a punishing and direct style. Formed in 2021, they keep the attack sharp and the tempo aggressive.
Portland, Oregon's Gargoyle draws from the deep well of classic heavy and power metal, favoring melodic hooks and traditional song structures over modern extremity. Their 2021 formation places them among a new generation reviving the genre's most anthemic qualities.
Detroit's Gargoyle keeps it lean and mean with thrash metal rooted in the city's famously hard-edged industrial soul. A 2021 formation with Motor City grit baked into every riff.
