Well my friend and I are doing exactly that this weekend, we're both big metalheads, and to this day all of our trips have consisted of pschedellic, psytrance, ambient, dubstep, all that good riff-raff, so we're real excited to hear a Death Metal growl ecompass us into its world while we're peaking

Has anybody else ever done this?

I did listen to some pink floyd one evening instead of my normal psy music, it was actually very nice and a good variation from the normal bleeps and thumps that i listen to, heavy metal though would probably not do it for me.

Experimentation is the name of the game here! You might love it, you may not. I prefer electronic sounds while tripping generally, but a well placed rock / metal track during an acid experience can be quite exceptional. Music and acid are certainly best buddies

Not heavy metal but... Try Tool

or mars volta...

meshuggah and opeth!

yes at an acid party I played music and the dj after me spun heavy metal vynil, that was - different, comical at times, and just, well - somethin else. It was cool though, all abstract, no words. Noisy. Everyone was happy when the next dj went on, but still thought it was cool.

Oh, for damn sure. Meshuggah was playing the first time I dosed, and the song playing while I peaked is forever tattooed on my brain...

Being a big metalhead myself, and tripping on all different kinds of substances while listening to metal, I do recommend it to people who are already fans of the genre. Most people who don't enjoy it sober, well, are going to really despise it while tripping

Nile is one of my personal favorites to listen to while tripping. And like endlessness said, for a more progressive style, Tool is the absolute best. Most prog. rock and metal are conducive to tripping I find

Its def. is on my list.
I would like to try negura bunget.

Yes, definitely negure bunget...

Burzum is also great for tripping, earliest albms though, not the keyboard stuff

Immolation, Incantation and Malevolent Creation are also 3 great bands for tripping if you're into death metal as well.

Stereo Fidelity

The last minute of this song is and was mind-blowing on LSD. Trance music is always enjoyable as well. Anything you can really feel, close your eyes, and lose yourself in.

I love metal. Have been at more than one festival and randomly walked by the campsite or van that was blasting some dope Lizzy Borden, or Maiden and just been like "hell yeah" Though slayer may be a bit on the negatrive side for m,ost trippers. Even "silly" stuff, some classic GNR or Crue, whatever....just depends on the mood of the night and how it is taken. Err, yeah, generally slayer, or anything called death metal is too far negative.

Therion, Neuorosis or others already mentioned (Opeth, Meshugga, Tool).

Pantera and the like comes off silly. Quit trying to sound so tough! Also, that tough guy stuff can likewise set off a dark experiences....

Yeah, I'd stick to the fun 80's classics (DIO, Borden, ect) or the deep proggy stuff.




\m/ hails! \m/

Oh, yes, its unreal.

Just last weekend I consumed 4 blotter of LSD, later into the night I got out the LSDMT and the music.

I had been a listening a lot to the album 'Act of Depression' by Underoath

I like to choose music that I've recently had strong emotions attached with.

5 or so hours into the trip, it was time to smoke DMT, I turned on the music, took the hit, and things got very LSDMT.

I was very pleased with my choice of music, my most memorable part of this experience (I believe was near the end of the track 'a love so pure' was at the peak of the inhaled DMT.

The thrashing guitars seem to come to life, cutting in, grinding out, all in perfect time with the vocals, it was absolutely intense, and utterly wonderful.

All in all, listening to metal on LSD or DMT, or LSDMT, you just have to love the music, and let it speak for itself.

Edit: Also i'd like to point out that this type of music, though I do enjoy on a regular basis, would not my choice of music for the majority of the time while on LSD, I don't believe it would be good for my psyche either.. But as for the ego shattering moments, like combined with DMT or a strong peak, its just dandy. Aggressive guitar riffs.. Drop D.. DROP C! no wait.. drop A!

..years and years ago i ended up sitting in a car on LSD with a friend who insisted on playing Slayer..
it was like comic book/horror movie coming to life..we both couldn't stop laughing (especially at lyrics like "Death is fucking you insane!" ) ..utterly hillarious (though not my usual music choice in such situations) ..the albums were South of Heaven and Reign In Blood.. ("surgery, with no anesthesia..!" lol )

I also had a friend who loved Iron Maiden and made me listen to it when we took a few hits of acid once, I must say it was quite an experience. Some songs were very epic, it felt like there was indeed 'something' to it. It was some songs from "seventh son" and "somewhere in time cd".. It's been many years since I've listened to it, though...

Heres a lil sumn sumn put together just for this specific purpose that a friend produced. This is bomb, but its so hard core I can't seem to play it for anyone! http://www.discogs.com/S...Dominion/release/1872517

The guitar riffs and rhythms are aggressive and sic as hell. Heavy metal is kind of like dubstep to me personally, i can only handle it for about 30-60 minutes and then it all sounds the same to me and gets annoying and boring. I prefer some good breaks or psytrance or psychedelic rock(pink floyd or jimi hendrix, doors, janis joplin are my favs).

maybe a heavy metal set by a good band may have some sort of concept behind it and each track could lead into the next crating a little journey...that might not get as boring. the journey may not be the most pleasant...lol, but being metal head you and you friend might like it.

have fun and share the experience

The real fun is when you bust out the guitar and amp and crunch some metal yourself ^^

On one of my 1mg LSD voyages, a friend of mine who was with me and sober, decided to play Orbs - Megaloblastic Madness. It was equally beautiful and dark at the same time, I have never been trapped in a song for so long in my life. It was so excessive to the point where I accepted my existence and reality as "being this song." Melodies and vocals carried me all throughout the room and to outerspace with both positive and negative emotions exploding into existence with every moment of eternity. When it was over and the song transitioned over to a Tycho song, I was relieved to know that my existence didn't revolve around Megloblastic Madness.

Yes! or just some good ol' Omar Rodriguez would be good Or the best band ever Primus/Les Claypool
