Madison WI, United States (1995 – present)

Bongzilla is a stoner metal group from Madison, Wisconsin which was formed in 1995.

…like Black Sabbath deconstructed in the white, hazy confines of a practice space. Put this in your pipe and smoke it.

Since the seeds were planted in the mid-90s, Bongzilla have been sowing Madison, Wisconsins rich soil with their homegrown, psychedelic sludge-core. Cultivating an extremely thick and heavy harvest of powerful mega-rock, Bongzilla have fertilized their sound tenfold over time, and the results of their bumper-crop harvest speak for themselves.

Releasing pounds of material over the course of the last few years, Bongzilla have raised consciousness in regards to their existence, and have kept their musical fires burning non-stop. Having toured the U.S. multiple times, playing gigs with the likes of Today Is The Day, Unsane, Noothgrush, Logical Nonsense, Dystopia, Grief, Zed, El Dopa, Cattlepress, Ire, Cave-In and the mighty Spazz, Bongzilla love to perform live. The bands live show is not to be missed as crushing heaviness blends perfectly with tortured, intense vocals and tripped-out passages of mellowed, experimental jamming. Bongzilla support the cause of legalization, regularly playing national Hemp festivals such as Weedstock (Bongzilla contributed a track to the Weedstock Vol. 1 CD) and Harvestfest. The summer of 1998 proved to be an important time for Bongzilla, as they made a highly publicized appearance at the Milwaukee Metalfest in addition to joining labelmates Unsane for a devastating tour of the Midwestern United States.
