General Kroll are a crossover thrash band from Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, formed in 2015. Their seven-track Demo Ensayo 2015 was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Augusto Brasseur at Sala HUM in Rosario and released in June 2015, documenting an early sound built around fast, hardcore-inflected riffs and sardonic song titles.
General Lee is a post-metal band from Béthune in northern France, formed in 2016, delivering heavy, atmospheric compositions that build from quiet tension to crushing crescendos. Their sound channels the dynamic intensity and emotional weight characteristic of the post-metal genre.
General Surgery is a death metal and goregrind band from Stockholm, Sweden, active since 2011 and dealing in the most extreme forms of grinding death metal from the Swedish capital. The project channels the legacy of Swedish extreme metal.
Chicago's Generation weld industrial mechanics to thrash metal aggression, a combination that has attracted a loyal following in the city's underground since 2021. The result is confrontational and machine-driven, with enough groove to keep it from feeling purely mechanical.
Congers, New York's Generation Kill have been a reliable force in crossover thrash since 2011, playing music that inherits equally from punk velocity and classic metal riffing. Tight, aggressive, and always moving forward.
Knoxville's Generation of Vipers have spent two decades building a reputation for progressive sludge metal that does not settle for the genre's usual formulas. Since 2005, they have pushed into post-hardcore and experimental territory while retaining the punishing weight that defines their core.
Generation Steel is a German heavy metal band from Wetzlar, formed in 2021, self-described as "German Heavy Metal powerhouses" with a catalog including The Eagle Will Rise, Lionheart, Steelers, and Limitless. The band maintains an active live schedule across Germany and is working toward a new album in 2026.
Tacoma's Generation Unknown play traditional heavy metal with a Pacific Northwest directness that keeps the material grounded and unpretentious since their 2014 formation. A solid, working-class entry in the heavy metal underground.
Generator are a heavy metal band from Stockerau in Lower Austria, currently active and operating as an independent act in the Austrian metal underground. Little of their recorded output has circulated widely, placing them firmly in the self-released, grassroots tradition of Austrian regional heavy metal.
