Tortured Whole – CD Digipak

Ohio's death metal upstarts, Sanguisugabogg, unleash their full-length debut, Tortured Whole, delivering a visceral blend of brutality and dark humor. Released on March 26, 2021, this album solidifies the band's reputation for crafting unapologetically heavy music infused with a raw, unfiltered edge.

From the pummeling opener "Menstrual Envy" to the relentless "Dead as Shit," Sanguisugabogg offers a relentless auditory assault. Tracks like "Gored in the Chest" and "Dick Filet" showcase their penchant for combining crushing riffs with grotesque themes, all executed with a precision that belies their "caveman" death metal moniker.

The album's unrelenting pace and unvarnished production capture the raw energy that has quickly become the band's hallmark.

For fans of unadulterated death metal, Tortured Whole is a must-have addition to any collection, offering a fresh yet familiar take on the genre's most brutal elements. This release not only cements Sanguisugabogg's place in the modern death metal landscape but also promises a bludgeoning experience that listeners won't soon forget
