Gerbophilia was a grindcore and crust act from Lausanne, Switzerland, active from 1998 to 2008, who built a prolific underground catalog of demos, splits, and EPs including a split with Belgian grind veterans Agathocles. Their releases like Emo-Roidal Crust Grindcore and Vomicide Volontaire captured a decade of chaotic, uncompromising Swiss grind.
Gergesenes is a raw black metal/ambient project from London, formed in 2019. Named after the biblical site of Christ's encounter with the possessed man, they blend raw black metal with ambient passages in a spiritually charged framework.
Gergovia is a black metal project from Clermont-Ferrand in the Auvergne region of France, founded in 2004 by Necron, named after the ancient Gallic oppidum where Vercingetorix defeated Caesar. Their prolific catalog spans over a dozen releases from Déclaration de Guerre (2005) through Marcher sur les Ruines (2018), reflecting sustained creative output rooted in French history.
Russian depressive black metal project launched in 2020, exploring themes of anguish and despair through bleak sonic landscapes. Their desolate approach mines the most emotionally raw corners of the black metal spectrum.
Germ Bomb is a thrash metal and crossover band from Gothenburg, Sweden, active since 2010 and delivering high-energy, riff-driven crossover fury from Sweden's metal capital. Over a decade of activity reflects a steadfast commitment to thrash.
Pennsylvania's Germ U.S.A. plays crossover thrash with the manic energy of hardcore punks who discovered Slayer and never looked back. Active since 2022, their sound is fast, grimy, and entirely indifferent to polish.
German Schauss is a neoclassical metal and shred guitarist from Bonn, Germany, channeling technical virtuosity through heavy metal frameworks. The project showcases instrumental metal with a classically influenced approach to guitar shredding.
North Carolina's Germanic Iron traffics in the harsh, martial intersection of black and death metal, producing music that sounds like a siege engine wrapped in frost. They've been waging sonic warfare since 2016.
