GARZA PODCAST Delivers a Brutal Deep-Dive with SANGUISUGABOGG: Riffs, Gear, and Unfiltered Honesty

The Garza Podcast returns with one of its heaviest and most entertaining episodes to date as Garza sits down in person with guitarists Ced Davis and Drew Arnold of Columbus, OH death metal force SANGUISUGABOGG—fresh off the release of their crushing new album, “Hideous Aftermath.”

The episode bursts out of the gate with a surprise moment: Ced and Drew ripping into Metallica’s “Fuel” before the conversation plunges straight into the gear-heavy underworld of SANGUISUGABOGG’s sound. From Drew’s pedalboard setup and tone philosophy, to their shared obsession with the RAT pedal, bass distortion choices, and the intricacies of building their unique low-tuned guitar approach, the duo break down every detail that powers their massive, swamp-thick riffing.

Garza leads them through a full exploration of the Hideous Aftermath sessions—touching on studio amps, preferred overdrive settings, and the eerie melodic choices that help shape the album’s signature ominous atmosphere. The conversation also digs into their nu-metal roots, unexpected influences, and the chemistry that fuels their writing style both on and off the stage.

What sets the episode apart is the band’s willingness to be candid. Ced and Drew open up about self-criticism, experimentation, tone-chasing, and the relentless drive to evolve as musicians. Their banter, insights, and gear wisdom make this one of the most immersive Garza Podcast episodes yet.

From riffs to pedals to the mindset behind the madness, this is SANGUISUGABOGG at their most real—and “Hideous Aftermath” is out now.
