Oregon's Gathering have been operating in the black metal underground since 1999, making them one of the longer-running American acts in the genre. Their durability across more than two decades speaks to a steadfast commitment to the art form.
Gathering Darkness is a death/doom and brutal death metal band from Santander in Cantabria, Spain, active since 2000, evolving from early death/doom into a more brutal approach. The band has built a quarter-century of extreme metal from Spain's northern coast.
Gatica are a thrash/grindcore band from Rosario, Argentina who launched in 2020 with the 15-track debut Matando Chetos (May 2020), followed swiftly by the equally frenetic Barbarie mata galán (March 2021). Both records blend politically charged lyrics with short, high-speed songs in the tradition of extreme crossover grindcore.
Cleveland's Gatlin started out delivering heavy/power metal with fists clenched and feet planted, though their trajectory has since bent toward hard rock — a range that speaks to their melodic roots and willingness to evolve. Formed in 2020, they bring a muscular energy native to the Rust Belt.
Gatling is a death metal and grindcore band from Heusenstamm, Germany, formed in 2010, delivering relentless extreme metal from the Frankfurt metropolitan area. The band combines death metal's heaviness with grindcore's tempo and ferocity.
Gatling Gun is a heavy metal/hard rock band from Turin, formed in 2020. Named after the rapid-fire weapon, they deliver machine-gun riffs and hard-hitting heavy metal from the Piedmontese capital.
Gattus Malugalum is a grindcore band from Tampere, Finland, formed in 2025, self-described as 'grooving grindcore,' blending extreme metal's ferocity with rhythmic, headbanging grooves. Their 2025 debut Reborn in Disgust delivers eleven tracks spanning titles like Black Grind, Holy Lobotomy, and Ghost in the Blood.
Gaudåm is a pagan black metal band from Skellefteå in northern Sweden, formed in 2026 and channeling ancient Norse spirituality through aggressive black metal from above the Arctic Circle. The project draws from the harshness of the Swedish North.
Gauekogogoak is a raw black metal collective from France, formed in 2021, operating under the banner of the 'Tagotís Gauak collective' with Basque-language release titles like Sorginen Hilobitik and Amesgaiztoko Zurrunbiloa. Their sound channels raw, unpolished black metal through a distinctly Basque cultural lens.
