Bongzilla are a long‑running stoner/sludge metal band from Madison, Wisconsin, formed in 1995 and infamous for their ultra‑downtuned fuzz, slow‑grinding riffs, and a lyrical universe that revolves almost entirely around cannabis worship. Their sound sits in the sweet spot between Sabbath‑descended doom and filthy Southern sludge, delivered with a raw, jam‑room looseness that feels like smoke‑hazed improvisation. After early cult releases like Stash and Gateway, they went quiet for a while, then roared back in the mid‑2010s with new records such as Weedsconsin and Dab City, proving they’re still one of the heaviest, most unapologetically weed‑obsessed bands in the genre.
