Sanguisugabogg and Despised Icon

Sanguisugabogg, originating from Columbus, Ohio, delivers brutal death metal with a distinctive "caveman" style. The band is known for savagely downtuned, heavy grooves and grotesque, often tongue-in-cheek lyrical themes. Their discography includes notable albums such as Tortured Whole, Homicidal Ecstasy, and Hideous Aftermath. Popular songs like "Dead as Shit" and "Abhorrent Contraception" exemplify their unique, drug-infused death metal sound. They are recognized for their intense performances and singular approach to the genre.

Montreal deathcore pioneers Despised Icon, known for crushing grooves and extreme metal, have stayed true since 2002, collaborating with top artists and producers in the scene.
