Sanguisugabogg – Homicidal Ecstasy (2023)

June 4, 2023

An improvement on the base sound, Sanguisugabogg step things up a notch with their second record, which has a much better sound all around. The drums in particular, sound absolutely fantastic – both in the initial performance and then in the production. The snare tone is wicked and punches right through the mix. Musically, everything else hangs nicely in the balance but the drums definitely lead the mix, for sure.

Either way, if sick caveman riffs and absurd vocals are your cup of tea, you can do no wrong in checking out this hyped-up unit of death metallers. Tracks like “Mortal Admonishment” for example show that the band is capable of much, much more than the usual chugga-chugga-ping-ping skreeeeeeee kind of deal. There is a technicality bubbling beneath the brutality that keeps threatening to surface.

Also, I’m undecided whether that art is brilliant or terrible, Write your thoughts on a postcard.
