Bongzilla – “Thank You… Marijuana”

An absolute goldmine of subterranean sludge history, Thank You… Marijuana is a massive 2018 comprehensive archival compilation from Madison, Wisconsin’s undisputed stoner-doom icons Bongzilla. Released through France’s underground heavy-music champions Totem Cat Records (with distribution from Stickman Records), this monolithic release compiles the band’s rarest early output onto a gorgeous double-LP format. Whether spun on the original limited transparent green wax or the vibrant blue-and-orange marbled re-presses, this 2xLP package offers an invaluable, beautifully remastered analog document of the band’s rawest, dirt-caked era.
