Tulsa, Oklahoma's Garrett Campbell started as a symphonic power metal project in 2023, pairing high-pitched, soaring vocals with orchestral arrangements and an enormous sense of dramatic scale. The project has since evolved toward more pop-influenced territory, but its metal roots remain audible.
Garrote is a death metal band from Marijampole in southwestern Lithuania, active since 2006. They deliver death metal from the Lithuanian Suvalkija region.
Walpole, Massachusetts act Garroted traffics in the blackened extremity where black and death metal merge into something malevolent and cold. Active since 2013, they bring a New England harshness to a style that has no patience for warmth.
Out of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, this Garroted zeroes in on the volatile meeting point of death and thrash metal, keeping the music volatile and kinetic. Formed in 2013, they represent the Sunshine State's durable tradition of no-nonsense extremity.
Garroter is a brutal death metal band from Krosno in southeastern Poland, formed in 2018. They deliver visceral brutality from the Subcarpathian Voivodeship.
Garrotte is a young thrash metal outfit from Bilzen, Belgium, whose debut release Tied but not Breathing dropped in January 2025 as a ferocious three-track EP mixing death metal, thrash, and nu-metal influences. The band is in its earliest stages but already delivering compact, aggressive songs.
San Diego's Garth Algar dishes out stoner-laced sludge metal with the easygoing swagger and slow-rolling heaviness that the Southern California coast seems to generate naturally. Active since 2012, the band's party-ready name belies how genuinely crushing the music gets.
Boise, Idaho's Garthim blends black metal's ferocity with dungeon synth's otherworldly ambience, creating music that is simultaneously aggressive and immersive. Active since 2005, the project draws from a fantasy-tinged sonic universe.
Charlottesville, Virginia's Garthim has been pursuing raw and atmospheric black metal since 2005, operating quietly in the mid-Atlantic underground with a sound defined by cold intensity. Despite sharing a name with the Boise project, the two exist independently.
