Ginevra is a sludge/stoner metal band from Pisa, formed in 2014. They deliver heavy, fuzz-laden stoner sludge from the famous Tuscan tower city.
Ginger Brain Man is a solo extreme metal project from Caen, France, formed in 2011, blending death metal, grindcore, black metal, noise, and psychedelic rock into a dark, avant-garde hybrid. The eleven-track debut Terreurs Nocturnes delivers surreal, genre-defying extreme metal across forty-two minutes.
California's Gingivitis take the goregrind tradition literally, pairing death metal's brutality with grindcore's hyper-compressed intensity and a gleefully grotesque aesthetic. Since 2022, they've specialized in punishing short-form attacks on the senses.
Ginnungagap is a black metal and ambient project from Portugal, active since 2017 and named after the primordial void of Norse mythology. The project channels cosmic emptiness through atmospheric black metal and ambient textures.
Ginsberg is a melodic death metal band from Dusseldorf, Germany, with roots stretching back to 1983, making them a remarkably long-running presence in the Rhine-Ruhr metal scene. The band channels the Gothenburg-influenced melodic death metal style through a German lens.
Gion Enitelav is a one-man black metal project from Bahia, Brazil, created by a single musician working with guitar, bass, drum machine, and minimal home recording tools. The project has released several recordings including the demo "Heōsphoros," the album "Erebus," and "Waves of Pain." Its raw, DIY aesthetic is central to the project's identity.
Giotopia is a symphonic progressive metal project from Beveren, Belgium, built around elaborate fantasy narratives told through music, with releases titled A Fantasy Tale on Music parts I and II, Trinity of Evil, and Egar's Return. The project has remastered earlier material in 2022-2023, refining a catalog of cinematic, story-driven metal.
New York's Girder build their stoner doom sound like heavy construction — methodical, load-bearing, and made to last. Formed in 2025, they're among the newest entrants to the northeast's already formidable heavy underground.
Girders is a symphonic black/death metal project from Scotland, formed in 2017. They pair orchestral symphonic elements with the aggression of both black and death metal from north of the border.
