Sanguisugabogg is an American death metal band formed in Columbus, Ohio, in 2019 by guitarist Cameron Boggs.[1][2] To date, they have released one demo, one live album and two studio albums. Current members include drummer-percussionist Cody Davidson, vocalist Devin Swank, guitarist-bassist Cedrik Davis and guitarist-bassist Drew Arnold.[1][3] While also being a reference to founding member Cameron Boggs' last name, the band's name is also a combination of "sanguisuga" (Latin word for "leech") and "bog" (British English slang for "toilet").
