Sanguisugabogg in San Antonio

About Sanguisugabogg

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.

Known for Bleed, Sanguisugabogg, Bong Rip Sent Me to Hell, Cum Gravy, Gonorrhea
