Lehigh Valley, PA · 2023–present · active
Fresh out of Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, G.R.U.M. launched in 2023 with a vicious blend of death metal and goregrind. Short, brutal, and utterly remorseless.
Sugar Land, TX · 2020–present · active
Sugar Land, Texas's Gaius hit the ground running in 2020 with a sound that fuses brutal death metal's heaviness with grindcore's velocity — short songs, enormous riffs, and absolutely no mercy.
OH · 2018–present · active
An Ohio goregrind act operating in the shadows since 2018, Gaki specialize in the kind of extreme, lo-fi grotesquerie that's as much about shock and confrontation as it is about speed.
Houston, TX · 2003–? · disbanded
Crushing Death Metal / Grindcore from Houston.
Houston, TX · 2013–present · active
Houston's Ganglion combine death metal's visceral weight with grindcore's frantic tempo and brevity, carving out a space in one of Texas's most active extreme metal cities. Since 2013, they've been a caustic fixture in the Houston underground.
East Brunswick, NJ · 2020–present · active
New Jersey's Gangora have been grinding out a caustic death/grind hybrid from East Brunswick since 2020, leaning into the genre's most abrasive tendencies with clear enthusiasm. Short, sharp, and ugly in all the right ways.
Kingsport, TN · 2022–present · active
Kingsport, Tennessee's Gangrene Womb play goregrind with the kind of gut-level nastiness that the subgenre demands — fast, foul, and completely committed to its own sickness. Formed in 2022, they bring Appalachian grime to one of metal's most extreme sonic corners.
Bozeman, MT · 2025–present · active
Brand new out of Bozeman, Montana, Garbarge wasted no time in 2025 launching a collision of death metal brutality and grindcore speed that sounds exactly as chaotic as their deliberately mangled name suggests.
Milford, CT · 2021–present · active
Named for the hound that guards the gates of Hel in Norse mythology, Milford, Connecticut's Garm pursues a raw and cold black metal sound with appropriately grim intent. Active since 2021, the project carries its mythological namesake seriously.
Fort Worth, TX · 2000–present · active
Brutal Death Metal / Hardcore / Grindcore from Fort Worth.
CT · 2025–present · active
A brand-new goregrind project from Connecticut, Gastric Fasciitis arrived in 2025 with the kind of clinical-horror fixation and blasting ferocity the genre demands. Short, violent, and deeply unpleasant in the best possible way.
Denver, CO · 2021–present · active
Denver's Gastric Phantasm carve up a nasty intersection of goregrind and death metal, keeping things visceral and churning since their 2021 formation. Equal parts intestinal and infernal.
Chicago, IL · 2023–present · active
Chicago's Gastropod blend grindcore's furious brevity with death metal's crushing low-end, building a sound that's both abrasive and rhythmically punishing. Formed in 2023, they're a welcome new entry into the city's brutal underground.
Springfield, MO · 2022–present · active
Springfield, Missouri's Gauntlet are a genuinely difficult band to pin down — their sound pulls from sludge, powerviolence, hardcore, and power metal simultaneously, creating something chaotic and genre-agnostic. Formed in 2022, they're proof that genre labels sometimes just get in the way.
San Diego, CA · 2019–present · active
San Diego's Genestealer lift their name from Warhammer 40,000 lore and channel that pulpy, sci-fi menace into short, violent grindcore songs since 2019. Fast, brutal, and over before you can process what happened.
