Dallas hardcore punk. Fast, mean, and raw with a nasty edge.
Arvada, Colorado's Glutgnar has been delivering grindcore with maximum hostility and minimum runtime since 2011 — the genre's fundamental promise upheld faithfully. Short songs, loud everything, no apologies from the Front Range.
Minneapolis death metal outfit Glutton for Punishment have been delivering unrelenting heaviness since 2014. Their approach is blunt and carnivorous, rooted firmly in the old-school tradition of American brutality.
Out of Covina, California, Gn0sis brings a cerebral edge to progressive metal with compositions that prize complexity without losing a sense of forward momentum. Founded in 2019, the band channels technical ambition into expansive, searching songcraft.
Pennsylvania's Gnargoyles have carved out a grimy niche where crossover thrash collides head-on with death metal ferocity. Their sound is ugly, fast, and unrepentant — part pit fodder, part throat-ripping carnage.
Hagerstown, Maryland's Gnark play crossover thrash with the kind of snarling momentum that makes venues feel smaller than they are. Since forming in 2022, they've honed a caustic blend of circle-pit riffs and hardcore spite.
Pensacola's Gnarled deal in the slow, smoke-choked end of the stoner/doom spectrum — heavy riffs dragged through swamp heat until they barely move. A recent arrival formed in 2024, they already sound weathered and deliberate.
Blacksburg, Virginia's Gnarwolf channel the raw aggression of crossover thrash through a vicious, no-frills lens. Since 2017, they've refined a feral style that owes as much to hardcore hardcore as it does to classic thrash.
Washington state newcomers Gnashed Gash arrived in 2025 with a death metal identity as confrontational as their name. Unpolished and predatory, they trade in visceral extremity without apology.
