Brutal Death Metal / Hardcore / Grindcore from Fort Worth.

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'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'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, 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'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.

Crushing Grindcore / Death Metal out of Texas.

Brand new to the Los Angeles scene as of 2025, Genocidist wastes no time merging death metal's gore-soaked riffs with grindcore's frantic, sub-minute assault. Expect short songs, maximum violence, and zero filler.

Oklahoma City's Gestalt is a genre-agnostic wrecking ball, routing thrash, death metal, grindcore, and crossover through the same reckless engine since 2018. The parts shouldn't add up to a coherent whole — somehow they do.
