Houston's Genital Grinder have been a fixture of the Texas death metal underground since 2002, a two-decade run that puts them among the genre's more resilient local acts. Brutal by name and by nature.
Los Angeles's Genital Shame approach experimental black metal from an oblique angle, founded in 2022 with a sound that courts discomfort as much as aggression. Provocative in name and in practice.
Genius of Sugarcane is a stoner/doom metal band from Nova Venécia, Espírito Santo, Brazil, built around the core of vocalist and guitarist Estevão Neri Massucatti, guitarist Luis Alfredo Santos, bassist Bruno Rodrigues, and drummer Rodrigo Gaspar Rodrigues. The band released their debut EP "Preludes from New Times" in November 2019, a three-track effort recorded at Audio Space Studio that draws on H.P. Lovecraft, spirituality, and nuclear themes across its doom-laden, psychedelic sound.
Genius Ultor is a black/heavy metal band from Mielec in southeastern Poland, active since 2010. They have evolved from pure black metal into a hybrid of black and heavy metal from the Podkarpacie region.
Gennem Tagen is a black metal act from Aarhus, Denmark, formed in 2019, whose Danish name translates to "Through the Fog." The project delivers atmospheric, fog-shrouded black metal from Jutland's cultural capital.
Louisville, Kentucky's Gennembore arrived in 2023 carrying the weight of their city's sludge and doom heritage into raw black metal terrain. New, but already steeped in the kind of darkness Louisville does particularly well.
Crushing Grindcore / Death Metal out of Texas.
