Odesa doom metal act launched in 2024 with a self-aware name that embraces the genre's tropes with tongue-in-cheek humor. Their slow-burning heaviness channels doom metal's crushing weight from Ukraine's Black Sea port city.
The name signals an attitude, and St. Petersburg, Florida's Generichrist backs it up with death/thrash metal that leans into aggression over ornamentation since 2015. Florida's death metal legacy runs deep here, filtered through a thrash metal lens.
Saint Petersburg black metal project formed in 2014, channeling extreme darkness from Russia's cultural capital. Their output draws from the ferocity and atmosphere that defines the genre's most uncompromising expressions.
Genesis Was Fake is a one-man crossover thrash project from Colmar, France, created by Kreaphil in 2020, addressing social themes across twelve tracks on the debut No Humans No Mistakes. The album blends crossover thrash with melodic elements across forty-five minutes of socially conscious extreme metal.
San Diego's Genestealer lift their name from Warhammer 40,000 lore and channel that pulpy, sci-fi menace into short, violent grindcore songs since 2019. Fast, brutal, and over before you can process what happened.
Brutal death metal from Salinas, California, Genethliac have been sharpening their sound since 2014 with the low-end density and surgical aggression the genre demands. Their name refers to astrology of nativities — the stars, apparently, align violently.
Genetic Disorder is a death/thrash metal band from Dusseldorf, Germany, formed in 2016, delivering aggressive, riff-driven extreme metal from the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area. The band combines death metal's brutality with thrash metal's speed and precision.
Grand Rapids, Michigan's Genetic Drift bring together groove metal, thrash, and metalcore in a way that prioritizes physical impact over genre purity since 2015. Heavy enough to satisfy headbangers, structured enough to keep it from descending into chaos.
Genetic Mutation is a thrash metal/crossover band from Moray in northeast Scotland, formed in 2021. They bring crossover thrash energy to the Scottish Highlands.
