Reunited Wisconsin sludgers Bongzilla will look to bring their reunion to another level in 2016. After already hitting the road hard this year, the trio are set to go coast-to-coast beginning at the end of February. In the support slots are Black Cobra, who’ll have a new record out by then (info here), and Lo-Pan, as well as Kings Destroy and Against the Grain, who will tradeoff circa SXSW.

It’s a formidable run in any case, and its finish right at the start of April makes me wonder if Bongzilla might have eyes toward Europe for shortly after, but either way, look for much more to come about what’s sure to be one of early 2016’s heaviest tours. Bongzilla will be out supporting a slew of reissues between Relapse Records and Hydro-Phonic Records, and while I’m interested to see if their reunion takes them back into the studio — you’d think it would almost have to, sooner or later — for now they seem to be keeping themselves plenty busy.
