*Hijack warning*

I think some styles of heavy drum n bass are very similar to metal in some ways too. Example:

I really enjoy all of those bands as well, bands like these definitely helped spread the seeds that grew into the progressive of today.



I went that show too, it was unreal! I don't go to as many shows nowadays, but that one I couldn't let pass. The whole bill was just great.

I go through phases where all I can listen to is Vildhjarta - they're so elaborate and interesting.
I'd listen to a great album on psychedelics over going to a live show (though part of that is the introvert in me talking). Psychs and music go together just so perfectly.

So I'm assuming you have heard vildhjarta's new EP? Quite amazing. I think I've listened to Masstaden at least million times.
I tried listening to metal on LSA and that was interesting in its own way as well; There are a plethora of ways to experience/perceive music. Its almost as though each composition contains thousands of songs within them.

Ahh...the brain

Indeed I have, I really like Längstmedån as well as Regnar Bensin, but the whole thing is amazing. Such bizarre but impossibly groovy and intricate guitar work. Måsstaden blows me away every time, so hypnotically dark sounding.

I've always thought that psychedelics allowed you to hear the song exactly the way that the artist intended; kind of a peer into their minds while they were writing it. You can hear such purpose in every note, so much perfect detail.

You guys are awesome

My favourite song from Thousands of Evils is Dimman. That acoustic is so dark and haunting. Vildhjarta is on the top of my list of Progressive Metal bands.

Thall.

It's pretty cool to hear their style translated onto an acoustic. Definitely cool to see them experimenting a little bit.

THALL

I used to listen to heavy metal in my younger years a lot and I still appreciate this genre of music. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Gamma ray, Manowar, you name it.

Anyway a critical question, just to confirm my assumption:
Do you guys think it will work as a catalyst for katharis while being on psychedelics?

That's been it's function throughout my life, with and without psychedelics. A great outlet for pent-up aggression, anger, frustration. Catharsis indeed.

Figured I would post this here. I've really been enjoying the new album 'Sentience' from this band.

Okay, since this thread is revived: I don't know how to link to this video so that the little YouTube box arrears in this post, but seriously, for your own good, check this 18 minute voyage out by the Japanese psych metal band Boris. Hell check out their entire catalog, up to "pink"anyway. That CD comes with three pages of blotter-paper, cut to four-way size,lol, of things like Blake's illustrations for Milton's Paradise Lost and old woodcuts! Another Japanese release contained a gummy worm in the spine off the CD case"allegedly"soaked in acid.

Boris: I just abandoned myself, from the CD"pink"


IN CASE THAT DOESN'T LINK, TO THE YOUTUBE MOBILE VID:



And for more fun, here's a little something I wrote while listening to this doing awhile ago:
The ineffable name of God pronounced with guitars and stacks of Orange and Sunn amps. Vacuum tubes glow, hiss, and finally explode like supernovae. Thick bass, subtuned to subsonic levels combined with supersonic sqeels of electric feedback intone Sanskrit vowels and carve them on my brain. Wave upon wave, my body can no longer endure the onslaught, my mind collapses and I give way. The universe falls in on itself, and a new vista opens. The mists cleared by the explosion, the void stands dark and empty. All that is, and will be, exists at a point of light in the center, tiny, bright, pulsing. It pulls the void into itself, the pull of it's might cannot even be withstood by nothing at all, and...

Bumping this thread, because it's exactly what I am doing right now. The dark pull of black metal and the refined crystallization of sensory enhancement via LSD compliment each other perfectly.


A chill rises from the soil and contaminates the air... suddenly life has new meaning.

Spent some good times on LSD listening to Wintersun.. archaic-space metal

I found it awesome that not only are we fellow headbangers, but we also fellow clusterheadbangers.

I'm very much into metal, but I'm still very new to LSD, so I can't say I've listened to much under the lysergic mindstate yet (though I have attended a psychedelic/stoner/metal festival on 115ug and saw some great progressive metal. Also saw Buried At Sea on the comedown, which was one of the heaviest things I've seen so far). I have lots of experience with mushrooms, but contrast to LSD I need my music waaaaay calm on shrooms so I listen to a lot of (psychedelic) folk and singer songwriter stuff on it mostly. I'm guessing more technical/atmospheric or just plain euphoric metal would be great on LSD, as well as a lot of stoner rock/doom.

Thought I'd post some psychedelic-related metallic stuff, hopefully someone enjoys one or more of these

Toxic Holocaust - Acid Fuzz (thrash)


The Handsome Beasts - Mr Mescalito (good ol' NWOBHM, not psychedelic in terms of sound but great song and lyrics. For all you cacti-lovers out there!)


Pale Divine - Amplified


Rainbows Are Free - Believers in Medicine


Sleep - Aquarian


Orange Goblin - Acid Trial


Ice Dragon - The Bearded Mage (some ridiculously trippy and heavy stoner/doom)
https://icedragon.bandca...m/track/the-bearded-mage

Adrift For Days - Bury All That's Chosen


Eternal (pre-Electric Wizard) - Chrononaut


Om - Thebes


Kamni - Shiva THC


Eggnogg - Magog (some Mckenna sampling towards the end ^^)


Necropharmacon - Psychocillibin


Belzebong - Acid Funeral


Bongzilla - Champagne & Reefer (Muddy Waters cover)


Bongripper - Reefer Sutherland


Subrosa - Borrowed Time, Borrowed Eyes


Sorry for the onslaught, there's still so much stuff that's not coming to mind right now
Also amazing how this is the most viewed topic in the LSD section, haha!

Who could forget about this classic?

I have. I've listened to metal during mesc/shroom/acid and dmt trips. Bands like tool, static-x, chimaira, metallica, megadeth, element80 and a few more.

Metal is part of me, and I feel relaxed and easy listening to it. Which I guess is what matters kn the end.

electronica/psytrance/infected mushroom mske for a lot of pretty colors amd feels, but my deep lastkng breakthrough experiences have always been tripping to metal.

one of my favoritr toons is 'the heart of it all' by chimaira. A lot of flametal (jazz-esque instrumentals) I emjoy as well.

I wonder if we understand pain quite deeply due to our afflictions, so metal maybe makes more sense

I was listening to this song while peaking on a mushroom trip recently and it was incredibly intense.


And this one's for 1ce

A few of my favorites for this kind of endeavor:

IMO & IME, this is VERY heavy metal (if Uranium what I mean...)



listen to this on acid, if you DARE
