Heavy Psych Sounds Records is stoked to announce that the weedsconsin riffers Bongzilla are coming back with a brand new album!!!
New album Pre-Sale + First track premiere on March 20, 2023.
In early 2020, Bongzilla started their own label called Gungeon Records and released a re-issue of their classic album “Apogee.” However, in March of 2020 it would be announced that Cooter Brown would retire from the band due to health and family reasons, with Bongzilla choosing to continue as a thunderous three-piece.
A few months into the pandemic, Bongzilla began rehearsing and recording for several different record projects – A limited “Wake Brewing” 7 inch, a full length album titled “Weedsconsin,” an LP split with the band Tons, and a 7 Inch Split with Boris, the first of a 7 inch Split Series released on Gungeon Records.
All projects were recorded at Future Apple Tree Studios in Rock Island, Illinois in October of 2020 by the legendary John Hopkins before his sudden and unexpected passing in the late fall of 2020.
Bongzilla signed to the Italian label – Heavy Psych Sounds in 2021 and released his new album in several years Wedsconsin, as well as a limited 7 Inch from “Wake Brewing,” followed by the Bongzilla / Tons Split for the HPS series – Doom Sessions. All releases were released in 2021.
The band is now coming back with a brand new album that will see the light in summer 2023 via Heavy Psych Sounds.
Says the band:
“All Dabbed up Bongzilla are super excited to be putting out Dab City on HPS records!!
