Fort Collins, Colorado's GasHead has been fusing the mathematical rigor of progressive metal with thrash's forward momentum since 2003, carving a distinctive niche in Colorado's heavy underground. The result is technical but still volatile, smart but unwilling to sit still.
Gashkelah is a black metal project from Eindhoven, formed in 2020. They deliver black metal from the city that hosts Europe's premier underground metal festival, Roadburn.
Gaskammer is a black metal project from Sandanski, Bulgaria, formed in 2023, operating in the raw end of the black metal spectrum. The project channels a stripped-down, underground approach to the genre.
Gaskin is a NWOBHM/heavy metal band from Scunthorpe in Lincolnshire, formed in 2022. They channel the spirit of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal from the North Lincolnshire industrial town.
Gaslarm is a speed/thrash metal band from Värmland, Sweden, active since 2017 and delivering high-velocity aggression from the forested Swedish interior. The project channels the urgency of speed metal and the intensity of thrash.
Alexandria, Virginia's Gasmask616 pulls from melodic death metal, deathcore, and beyond, treating genre as a suggestion rather than a constraint. Active since 2021, they've built a catalog that moves fluidly across the extreme metal spectrum.
Chernihiv-based heavy metal and hard rock act formed in 2016, delivering classic metal energy from northern Ukraine. Their riff-driven approach channels the timeless power of traditional heavy metal and rock.
Los Angeles experimental outfit GASP has been pushing at the edges of sludge metal and hardcore since 2009, folding in noise, feedback, and abrasive texture until the genre lines dissolve entirely. Their music is confrontational and unpredictable, shaped by LA's eclectic and uncompromising DIY underground.
Phoenix sludge merchants Gasping have been dragging listeners through tar-thick riffs and caustic misery since 2011. Their sound leans into the suffocating, oppressive end of the genre — slow-burning and relentless.
