Sanguisugabogg are an American death metal band from Columbus, Ohio, formed in 2019. Emerging as one of the leading names in the modern old-school death metal revival, the band quickly gained attention for their crushing riffs, cavernous production, grotesque lyrical themes, and unmistakable sense of humour. Drawing heavily from classic 1990s death metal while injecting a contemporary swagger, Sanguisugabogg have become one of the fastest-rising acts in extreme metal.
The current line-up features Devin Swank (lead vocals), Ced Davis (guitar), Drew Arnold (bass), and Cody Davidson (drums). Through relentless touring and an uncompromising commitment to bone-crushing heaviness, Sanguisugabogg have built a devoted international following while helping introduce a new generation of fans to old-school death metal.
Sanguisugabogg combine old-school death metal, slam death metal, and hardcore influences into a relentlessly heavy and groove-driven sound. Monolithic riffs, downtuned guitars, pummelling drums, and Devin Swank's cavernous growls create music that captures the brutality of classic death metal while embracing a modern production style and an irreverent personality.
Influenced by bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Internal Bleeding, Mortician, and Obituary, the band have rapidly established themselves as one of the standout names in contemporary extreme metal.
Tortured Whole (2021) – debut studio album introducing Sanguisugabogg's filthy blend of old-school death metal, slam, and groove-laden brutality.
Homicidal Ecstasy (2023) – acclaimed second album expanding the band's songwriting while retaining the savage riffs, crushing grooves, and grotesque atmosphere that define their sound.
Hideous Aftermath (2025) – third studio album showcasing a more refined yet equally devastating approach, balancing crushing heaviness with memorable songwriting and relentless energy.
Sanguisugabogg have become one of the defining bands of the new wave of old-school death metal, proving that classic brutality can still feel fresh and exciting. Their combination of crushing riffs, infectious grooves, and tongue-in-cheek personality has earned them a loyal worldwide following while helping revitalise interest in traditional death metal.
Fans of 200 Stab Wounds, Frozen Soul, and Undeath will likely appreciate Sanguisugabogg's devastating blend of old-school death metal, slam, and hardcore-infused aggression.
