Sanguisugabogg
Armory — Minneapolis, MN

Sanguisugabogg is a death metal band from Columbus, Ohio that sounds exactly like their name suggests: visceral, chaotic, and committed to the bit. They emerged in the late 2010s with a sound that blends straightforward death metal brutality with the nihilistic chaos of grindcore, treating song titles and artwork with the same irreverent approach as early Napalm Death. Despite the shock-value aesthetic, there's real technical chops underneath—blast beats that don't let up, riffs that burrow into your skull, and vocals that sound like something's actively eating its way out. They've built a genuine cult following by doing the least commercially viable thing possible: doubling down on the extreme metal fundamentals while everyone else chases trends. Their records are short, sharp, and designed to feel like an assault.

Their shows are pit destinations. The crowds are there to get beaten up in the nicest possible way. Sanguisugabogg plays tight and absolutely merciless—no showmanship, just relentless riffing and blast beats. The pit opens immediately and doesn't close.

Sanguisugabogg brought their particular brand of deathcore brutality to Fillmore Minneapolis on October 20, 2024, working through a setlist that hit hard without pretense. They opened with "Face Ripped Off" and spent the next hour establishing exactly what they're about—"A Lesson in Savagery" and "Skin Cushion" showed a band that doesn't waste time on flourish. "Dragged by a Truck" landed in the middle of the set like a punch you saw coming but couldn't avoid. The Minneapolis crowd got what they came for: seven songs of unvarnished aggression, closing with "Dead as Shit," which is either the most or least subtle band move depending on your perspective. It's the kind of show that doesn't need to happen twice in a year because it does exactly what it promises.

Minneapolis has a legit metal ecosystem—Prince's Paisley Park sits in the same state as a thriving underground scene that appreciates both technical prowess and raw aggression. The city's harsh winters probably don't hurt either. Death metal and goregrind have always found homes here, and Sanguisugabogg fits that lineage of Minnesota bands willing to get genuinely uncomfortable.

Stay in the Northeast Minneapolis arts district—it's where the city's creative energy actually lives, with galleries, vintage shops, and the Mississippi River nearby. Eat at Café Alma in the same neighborhood for restrained, high-quality Italian cooking. Spend an afternoon at the Walker Art Center, which sits on a rise overlooking downtown and has genuine landscape appeal. Grab coffee at Spyhouse, a roaster that takes itself seriously without the performative nonsense. The Stone Arch Bridge is worth a walk if the weather cooperates.
