Geschlecht is a groove metal band from Piacenza, formed in 2019. Their German name — meaning 'gender' or 'lineage' — brings a continental edge to their groove metal from Emilia.
Gespenst is a black metal act from Aarhus, Denmark, formed in 2011, whose name means "ghost" in German and Danish. The project has maintained over a decade of spectral black metal from Jutland.
Gespinst is an atmospheric black metal solo project from Bad Schussenried, Germany, formed in 2021 by A.A.S., who also leads the internationally acclaimed funeral doom band The Cold View. Releases include Das Leben Ist Den Tod Nicht Wert, Heimwarts, and Refugium, channeling forest-themed atmospheric darkness.
Oklahoma City's Gestalt is a genre-agnostic wrecking ball, routing thrash, death metal, grindcore, and crossover through the same reckless engine since 2018. The parts shouldn't add up to a coherent whole — somehow they do.
St. Louis black metal act Gestalt deals in cold, unornamented darkness — stripped-down riffs and a bleak, suffocating atmosphere that owes more to second-wave austerity than modern production values. They've been haunting the Missouri underground since 2018.
Gestalte is a black metal project from Leiden and The Hague, active since 2011. Their Dutch name — meaning 'form' or 'figure' — signals the atmospheric, shape-shifting character of their black metal.
Gestank is a black metal band from Västra Götaland, Sweden, active since 2017 and channeling the raw traditions of Scandinavian black metal. The project's name, meaning "stench" in Swedish, reflects its foul, corrosive approach.
Gestapolis is a grindcore act from Copenhagen, Denmark, formed in 2012, delivering chaotic, aggressive grind from the Danish capital. The band brings over a decade of grinding intensity to the Copenhagen scene.
Emerging from Rockport, Massachusetts in 2022, Gestation plays death metal that is methodical and crushing — the kind that builds pressure slowly before erupting in bursts of precise brutality. There's a New England grimness to their approach.
