Snohomish, Washington's Global Warning leans into hard rock-influenced heavy metal with the kind of melodic confidence that comes from years of working the club circuit. They've been sounding the alarm since 2017.
Detroit's Glockmouth launched in 2025 with a deathcore attack as blunt and urban as the city they came from — dense, mechanically brutal, and pointed like a barrel at everything soft. Motor City heaviness filtered through modern extreme metal.
Glok is a French black metal project formed in 2019, embracing the raw, atmospheric darkness of the underground black metal tradition. Their sound channels hostility and bleakness through lo-fi production and abrasive compositions.
Glondemir is a melodic death metal band from Balingen, Germany, formed in 2019, delivering Scandinavian-influenced melodeath from the Swabian Jura. The band combines melodic guitar harmonies with death metal aggression.
Gloom Divine is a two-piece black metal band from the southern greater Buenos Aires area, founded in December 2004 by String Spirits (guitars, bass, drums) and Vaklav (vocals). After years active in Argentina's black metal scene, they released their debut demo in August 2013, remastered it in 2021, and followed with the full-length album "From Ancient Voices" in May 2022.
Gloombound is a funeral doom metal project from Oslo, formed in 2023. They deliver glacial funeral doom from the Norwegian capital.
Florida's Gloombringer arrived in 2023 fully committed to the most brutal and anatomically absurd corners of slam — pit-collapsing breakdowns, guttural vocals, and the relentless low-end punishment that defines the genre. They bring gloom in the most literal tonnage sense.
San Diego's Gloomed has been crafting traditional doom metal with a patience and heaviness that the genre's best practitioners would recognize since 2017. Their music doesn't rush — it descends, rung by rung, into a darkness from which it doesn't promise to return.
Fleetwood, Pennsylvania's Gloominous Doom is one of the underground's stranger propositions — progressive death and thrash metal with recorded ska influences woven in, making for something genuinely difficult to categorize and harder to ignore. They've been at it since 2015.
