Named after the dungeon-crawling RPG monster, Portland's Gelatinous Cube have been delivering slam and brutal death metal since 2016 with the slow, all-consuming menace the name implies. Northwest brutality with a knowing wink.
Melbourne-based hardcore outfit GELD formed around 2013 and quickly distinguished themselves through a ferocious blend of d-beat, Japanese noisecore, and Italian raw punk. Their 2020 LP Beyond the Floor, released via Iron Lung and Static Shock Records, refined their churning psychedelic attack, and they followed it with Currency // Castration on Relapse Records, their most ambitious and abrasive statement yet. The band draws from a wide spectrum of underground extremity while remaining rooted in punk's confrontational directness.
Gelding Moon occupy the bleaker end of the drone and doom spectrum, treating noise as a structural element rather than an afterthought. Active since 2012, their American origins are about all the geography available — the music exists somewhere outside of place entirely.
Gelo is a crust punk/death metal band from Treviso in the Veneto, formed in 2019. Their Italian name — meaning 'frost' — captures the cold aggression of their crust/death metal hybrid.
San Jose's Gemanon bring melodic death metal to the Bay Area's underground, pairing hooky, lead-driven arrangements with genuine death metal aggression since 2012. They sit comfortably in the lineage of Scandinavian melodeath but with a distinctly American directness.
Gemini Abyss is a symphonic power metal band from Lodz, active since 2013. They deliver orchestrally enhanced power metal from central Poland's largest city.
Paducah, Kentucky's Gemini Lounge only formed in 2025, but they arrived with a sound that blends deathcore heaviness with thrash riffing and death metal brutality. Brand new, but already pointed in a clear direction.
Gemini One is a sludge/doom metal act from Saarbrucken, Germany, formed in 2012, with releases spanning from their 2012 EP through Per Aspera (2019) to the 2024 album 16:01:01:69. The project has maintained a steady output of heavy, atmospheric doom over twelve years.
Las Vegas outfit Gemini Syndrome merge nu-metal heaviness with gothic atmosphere and occult-tinged imagery, led by Aaron Nordstrom's commanding vocal range and the band's dense, layered production. Their albums 'Lux' and 'Memento Mori' explore themes of duality and transformation through a lens of crushing riffs and industrial-flavored textures.
