The band released its debut album titled , Dies on February 13, 2016 through Eighty-Sixed Records. Jeremy Bolm of Touché Amoré personally invited Gouge Away to tour with them and Ceremony. During this time, the band also toured with G.L.O.S.S. and Paint It Black. Brooklyn Vegan ranked, , Dies at number 17 on their "The 20 Best Emo/Punk Albums of 2016" list, while Vice magazine's music blog Noisey called it one of the "37 Best Overlooked Albums of 2016". In his write-up about Gouge Away for the article, Noisey journalist Dan Ozzi said the album, "wears its politics proudly on its sleeve, with Michelle's lyrics staunchly taking a stand against animal testing, police brutality, and social injustice. The type of hardcore that Gouge Away plays might not be en vogue these days, but it damn well should be." They released their second album Burnt Sugar through Deathwish Records in 2018.
