Ghouls is a brutal death metal band from Rome, active since 2011. They deliver unrelenting brutality from the Italian capital.
Formed in Salzburg in 2006 under the name Godforsaken before rebranding in 2010, Ghouls Come Knockin' played a catchy mix of death 'n' roll, speedrock, and thrash with a punk attitude and lyrics covering rebellion, intoxication, and freedom. Their 2013 album Dead Beat Glory is a high-energy slab of this crossover style, and the posthumous Blitztank followed in 2020 after the band dissolved.
Ghozer is a stoner metal band from the Midlands, formed in 2018. They deliver fuzz-drenched stoner metal from the heart of England.
Named after the hunger hormone, Tucson's Ghrelin are a 2023-formed death metal and grindcore act whose music has the ravenous quality their name implies — short, punishing outbursts of extreme metal from the Sonoran Desert, always hungry for more damage.
Ghriéving was a black metal solo project from Caracas, Venezuela, active until 2022 and released through Vigor Deconstruct. The project explored themes of dreams, illusions, and occultism across its discography, which includes the 2017 full-length "Somniaprima" and the 2019 EP "Chimére de Hypnos". Ghriéving was part of the Venezuelan C.M.B. (Cantus Maleficorum Bestiæ) Congregation alongside Bavtist and other acts.
Tomsk-based black metal project named after Lovecraftian cosmic horror, formed in 2021 and channeling otherworldly dread through extreme metal. Their thematic focus on cosmic terror matches a sound that reaches beyond conventional black metal boundaries.
Samara-based heavy doom metal and hard rock outfit formed in 2019, merging the slow-burning weight of doom with hard rock's melodic drive. Their eclectic approach draws from multiple traditions to create a sound both heavy and accessible.
Seattle's Ghuuliathe have been crafting atmospheric black metal of unusual depth and isolation since 2015 — long-form compositions where Pacific Northwest rain and gloom seep into every passage, producing something cosmically bleak and hypnotically cold.
Genre-defying project from Kemerovo active since 2011, fusing post-black metal and shoegaze with hip-hop elements in a boldly unconventional synthesis. Their radical cross-pollination of extreme metal aesthetics with urban music creates something genuinely unprecedented.
