Gernoth is a black metal project from Eichenau near Munich, Germany, formed in 2022, operating in the raw end of the Bavarian black metal scene. The project channels harsh, unrelenting black metal from the Munich metropolitan area.
Gernotshagen is a pagan black/folk metal band from Trusetal, Germany, active since 2002, whose self-described "blackened nature metal" blends spherical keyboards, melodic guitars, and vocals ranging from clean to throat singing. Their 2024 album Mein Trusetal marks twenty-five years of the band, following earlier releases like Wintermythen (2002) and Ode Naturae (2020).
Geronimo is a crossover band from Gistrup in northern Jutland, Denmark, formed in 2010, delivering high-energy crossover from the outskirts of Aalborg. The band combines punk attitude with metal heaviness.
Jacksonville, Florida's Gerovit takes its name from a Slavic war deity and delivers a thrash-forward black metal attack to match — fast, aggressive, and steeped in ancient menace. Formed in 2023, they're already hitting with conviction.
Gerrar is a black metal project from Bucharest, Romania, formed in 2021. They add to the capital city's steadily growing extreme metal output.
A New Jersey black metal project with a distinctly archaic name, Gersey Deoful operates in the raw, atmospheric end of the spectrum where isolation and atmosphere count as much as speed. Active since 2021, they favor atmosphere built on murk and malice.
Bay Area band Geryon blends melodic death metal's emotive sweep with metalcore's rhythmic punch, crafting songs that hit hard while still leaving room for melody. They've been honing their hybrid sound in California since 2013.
New York's Geryon pushes death metal into stranger territory, incorporating avant-garde elements that break up the brutality with dissonance and unexpected structural turns. Their music resists comfortable categorization and is all the more compelling for it.
Black metal act from the Siberian city of Rubtsovsk, formed in 2021 and bringing extreme darkness from one of Russia's most remote metal outposts. Their sound carries the raw intensity of Siberian black metal's isolated tradition.
