From Hideous Aftermath (2025). Hideous Aftermath is the third studio album by American slam metal band Sanguisugabogg, released on 10 October 2025 by Century Media Records. The album's personnel list credits Drew Arnold and Cedrik Davis with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD Viper-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Sanguisugabogg's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
