Gitrog is a German atmospheric black metal solo project by Schemen, formed in 2018, whose debut Spectral Heraldry (2018) was released on 100 hand-numbered cassettes through Worship Tapes. The album blends melancholic black metal with clear vocals reminiscent of 1980s goth rock, using cover art sourced from Rodolphe Bresdin's 1854 work The Comedy of Death.
Giuda is a thrash metal/crossover/crust punk band from Italy, active since 2010. They deliver aggressive crossover thrash with crust punk energy.
Giulio Rossi is a heavy metal solo artist from Terni in Umbria, active since 2020. He delivers classic heavy metal from the industrial city in central Italy.
Giuseppe Zaupa is a progressive metal solo artist from Arzignano in the Vicenza province, active since 2020. He channels technically sophisticated progressive metal from the Veneto region.
Salinas, California's Give Her the Gun bring a melodically aware but uncompromising metalcore sound that's been sharpened through years of work since 2012. They're built for stages and pit floors in equal measure.
Give Up the Ghost is a symphonic/melodic death metal band from Rimini on the Adriatic coast, formed in 2016. They blend symphonic orchestration with melodic death metal from the Romagna beach city.
Boston's Give Zombies the Vote merge melodic death metal's harmonic sophistication with metalcore's rhythmic aggression and a name that's equal parts political provocation and horror camp. Active since 2012, they make technically ambitious music that never forgets to be fun.
Iowa City's Giving Up have been delivering crossover thrash with genuine punk conviction since 2007, blending the speed and riff-craft of thrash with the urgent, stripped-down energy of hardcore. The name sounds defeatist; the music sounds anything but.
Seattle's Giza build their atmospheric sludge metal with a monolithic patience — slow, layered, and vast in the way their name's ancient stone monuments are vast. Since 2012 they've been constructing music that takes its time to bury you.
