Today, the ‘Bogg have shared the NSFW video for “Repulsive Demise.”

“We always like to do something a little different on our albums and this happens to be one of our most different songs yet,” the band offers. “As much as it’s weird, we think it’s pummeling and groovy. We you all dig what we consider the theme song of our album Repulsive Demise.”

About the album as a whole, Swank states, “It’s definitely our most death metal record, our most personal record, our most focused and brutal record to date.”

Known for being THAT band with the unpronounceable name and unreadable logos, the ‘Bogg have made a record as gore-obsessed and violence-inclined as any of their prior works, including Tortured Whole (2021) and Homicidal Ecstasy (2023), but with a career-defining command over their ugly art. Says Swank, “It’s the one where we rolled our sleeves up and brought our A-Game.”

Hideous Aftermath is the work of a band who has already cut a bloody swath into the underground and beyond. Sanguisugabogg have emerged from the sweat and grime of countless U.S. and international tours with the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Lorna Shore, and Kublai Kahn as well as festival slots and their own headline runs. They’ve ensnared scores of new converts to their brand of the brutally absurd.

Now in 2025, the ‘Bogg’s third full length leaves any “caveman death metal” tags in the dust. This is the sound of Sanguisugabogg flexing every muscle they have.

Enlisting producer Kurt Ballou (Nails, High on Fire) the ‘Bogg decamped to God City Studios in Salem, Massachusetts in the Spring of 2025. “We got off the road after A LOT of touring and wanted to drill down and be as purely creative as possible without distraction,” says Swank of the band’s decision to work with the Converge guitarist in Witch City. “Kurt mixed Homicidal Ecstasy, so he already understood what we were going for.”

While Sanguisugabogg have long been self-produced with Davidson handling production duties, this time, they put their sonic trust fully in Ballou’s hands.

With Hideous Aftermath, Sanguisugabogg have proven themselves more than just an eccentric death crew on an acid-addled hateroll. They’re both champions of the underground and a musical force unto themselves. “Eight or nine years ago, it seemed like what we were doing was pretty niche,” Swank admits. “Where we’ve come, some of the rooms and festivals we’ve played is kind of remarkable.” Big swings including recent appearances on more “mainstream” rock festivals including Columbus’ Sonic Temple and Welcome to Rockville in Daytona, Florida, were never on the ‘Bogg boys’ charter underground agenda.

“I think we were a band that was set up to do nothing or a lot of something,” Swank concludes. “Why ‘normies’ ever ended up liking it was weird. Who knows? Maybe we made pain and suffering fun.”

Fun AF!

Sanguisugabogg will be touring this November on a headline run, with Despised Icon, Defeated Sanity, and Corpsepile as support. All dates are below.
