Glaciers of Ice is a black/thrash metal band from London, formed in 2021. They merge the frozen hostility of black metal with thrash metal's velocity from the British capital.
Glacies Draconis was a Death/Black/Doom Metal project from Brazil, founded in January 2022 by Marcos, with Despair handling vocals and lyrics and Lexibyss contributing guitars. The project released the track "Velado por Corvos" in May 2022 and the release "Labirinto de Espelhos" before disbanding. Their material blended atmospheric black metal with doom and death metal elements.
Glaciar is an atmospheric black metal project from Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, formed in 2014, channeling vast, glacial soundscapes through layered black metal. The project takes its name from the elemental power of moving ice, reflecting its slow-building, expansive approach.
Gladenfold is a melodic death metal and power metal band from Turku, Finland, formed in 2023, with a prolific output including Dark Age Medieval Warfare, Misanthropic Reign Forest, and World Is a Depressed Place across numerous demos and full-lengths. Their catalog blends aggressive melodic death metal with dark atmospheric and medieval-themed imagery, released through their own Screech Merchant Records.
Glades of Gloom is a black metal act from Sliven, Bulgaria, whose album Grim Seraphic Obsequies was originally recorded around 2000 and remastered for a 2020 reissue on Daemonicreation. The four-piece lineup notably includes bagpipe alongside traditional black metal instrumentation, adding an unusual folk dimension to their satanic old-school sound.
Blurring the line between arena-ready grit and heavy metal muscle, Gladiator channels both the swagger of grunge and the blunt force of classic metal into something that sounds worn-in and battle-tested. They've been at it since 2010 with no signs of laying down the sword.
Gladiators is a power/speed metal band from Markneukirchen in Saxony's Vogtland, Germany, formed in 2015, delivering high-energy European power metal from the region famous for its instrument-making tradition. The band combines melodic power metal hooks with speed metal's velocity.
Gladio Tempus is a death/thrash metal band from Goiânia, Brazil, founded in 2021 by Nicholas de Macedo (vocals and rhythm guitars), Geovani Maia (lead guitars), Alper Basbug (bass), and Eduardo Lemes (drums). The band cites Slayer, Sepultura, Obituary, and Sodom as primary influences, and released their debut album "FAUDA" on January 10, 2024. Their brutal thrash approach places them in the tradition of aggressive Brazilian extreme metal.
Gladium Regis is an epic/atmospheric black metal and dungeon synth project from Chieti in Abruzzo, formed in 2020. Their Latin name — meaning 'sword of the king' — signals the medieval grandeur of their atmospheric black metal.
