Erie, Pennsylvania's Gelatin Skeleton arrived in 2022 with a name that suggests something between horror and dark humor, and their death metal follows through on that sensibility. Ugly, visceral, and unapologetically underground.
Philadelphia's Ghazi has been at it since 2008, delivering straightforward death metal with the tenacity of a band that has outlasted most of its contemporaries. Their durability speaks to a raw, honest commitment to the music.
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.
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.
Pennsylvania's Gravecrawler drag themselves through the subterranean depths of old-school death metal with genuine menace. Active since 2021, they move through the mire with the patient, rotting momentum the name implies.
please update this band
Pennsylvania's Gutshovel emerged from McKean County in 2024 with a death metal approach that favors raw aggression over technical showmanship — blunt, brutal, and grounded in the genre's most primal impulses. The name tells you everything about their aesthetic priorities.
Northampton, Pennsylvania's Hackpeter mashes death metal's surgical brutality against grindcore's frantic brevity, producing a sound that's equal parts calculated and chaotic since their 2019 formation.
Scranton, Pennsylvania's Hallucination are death metal veterans in the truest sense — their formation date of 1969 makes them one of the stranger entries in any metal database, a pre-death metal act whose legacy stretches across decades of Pennsylvania's underground.
