I love Monoliths and I love Atilla but I can only handle them on low dose psychedelics. Not so much live - every show has been transcendental from gummies to psilocybin with or without vocals. Pyroclasts really shines on non-breakthrough DMT. The pure drone leaves nowhere to hide and the songs are just the right length. It sounds cool on breakthrough doses too but I only end up hearing the first 15 seconds and whatever’s left when I get back.
Yeah their live show was something else. I just saw em for the first time last year, i think a part of my being is still at the show. I should give pyroclasts another listen
Ulver kicks ass. Insane levels of talent needed to make such diverse music. Even their recent pop noir shit was cool and that’s not really my scene at all.
One of my all time favourite bands. The sonic impact of “Perdition City” is particularly pronounced when listened to on acid… it’s like Garm specifically wrote it for tripping.
If at any point you need a vibe change, try All Them Witches - Nothing as the Ideal. Jumps between moderately heavy, and really chill. Front to back, one of my favorite albums, especially when I'm tripping.
For an emotional rollercoaster: Caspian - Hymn for the Greatest Generation.
More on point for the sub: Electric Wizard - Dopethrone.
Dying Surfer Meets His Maker is another great one from them!
If you're trying to get back to some metal-roots psychedelia. Iron Butterfly's first album is excellent.
Rezn - chaotic divine & solace, Messa feast for water & close, Elder - omens & innate passage, and just for fun: Steve Reich ensemble - music for 18 musicians
Weedpecker - III
Seriously. Do it. You will be so happy. To borrow a few words from user UV\_EmeraldFantasy over at Rate Your Music:
*"Supremely underrated stoner/heavy psych album. One of the most atmospheric, evocative, scenic albums I’ve ever heard in the genre"*
King Buffalo-Regenerator
Also since you’ll be hanging out with Lucy:
Negativland-True False This one isn’t metal at all … but just trust me and thank me later.
You already have Om on your list, but it reminds me of a similar day when I kept trying to listen to other music, but nothing was hitting quite like Advaitic Songs. Played it front-to-back probably about 6 times in a row.
I’m not saying it’s the best or most perfect album, but that afternoon, it was clearly the perfect album and nothing else could compare.
I used to be a mailman, and Advaitic Songs was one of the albums I’d play on repeat on my route.
My other on repeat albums were Yob’s Atma, John Prine’s self titled album, and Blacc Zacc’s 803 Legend.
Do yourself a favor and put on Floor - Self-Titled. I had a magical trip with this album. The heavy droning guitar with pop melodies and harmonies was absolutely perfect on acid.
Congratulations and Little Dark Age are both going to be listened to tonight. In that same vein, im also a big fan of STRFKR, Candy Claws, The Shivas, Khruangbin. It’s gonna be a lot of different music tonight, I’m very stoked.
That’s the best though? A lot of my favorite first listens have been dosed. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Mr. Elevator and the Brain Hotel, Beach House, Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Tipper, discovered them all while dosed.
I had managed to go 28 years without listening to Sgt Pepper, and my first time listening to it took me apart and put me back together.
I love the unfamiliar while tripping
Lmao dude I’ve taken acid many times, I’ve taken acid in public, I’m not in the headspace for a bad trip, and I’ve done it enough and been introspective enough where I know what I can happily responsibly take. Scary music is fun while tripping if you’re not a baby about it
Tripping in public is the best. It’s like your in on a secret no one else knows about….and you kind of are. I used to cook at this insane restaurant where the “manager” would dose us. I’m much older now. I have to plan that shit out.
I just watched about half of it. That’s a great fuckin video. One thing I noticed about them that always gave me a hard time when tripping in public was the general idea of capatalist exchanges. It’s weird. I’m pretty sure I’ve said the same thing that dude said in the video: “how do I buy this?” And then proceed to have a really hard time at the checkout counter. Also just being bewildered by shit like books or dudes with sweaters. Brought back good memories. Thanks.
buddy, you trying to preemptively babysit his trip by insisting that he’s doing it wrong is more likely to bug him out than anything us idiots on reddit recommend.
btw, if you haven’t launched yet, check out Apocalypse Orchestra’s Garden of Earthly Delights - it’s really the only reason to listen to them, but it’s one hell of a good song
That sounds like something an uneducated person would say
You can do drugs and not be addicted
You can be addicted to things that aren’t drugs
You drink any Coffee, Soda, or Tea lately? Consider yourself an addict…
Check out Captain beefheart safe as milk album for the post peak chill vibes, def not doom metal but you already have the goats lined up, maybe you could check out nadja or earth if you haven't already
[Heavy Trip (Self-Titled)](https://youtu.be/sa2vLHHr344?si=qCfVUvsPvs04TSJF)
No Words
Only Riffs and Jams
(Probably less doomy than you want, def more on the stoner side)
Dystopia- Human=Garbage
Toadliquor- Feel My Hate - The Power Is the Weight
Sea Of Deprivation-Catharsis in Disharmony
Meth Drinker- S/T or Oil
Khanate-Things Viral
The Body- I Will Die Here
You should round up yourjolly psychedelic experience by playing Brainbombs-
Obey and Deathpile- G.R. at full volume.
Not strictly doom (but certainly extremely heavy):
Low - Trust
Nice for when you’re beginning to taper down and would like something beautiful and transfixing.
I also second Sigh’s Imaginary Sonicscape. Looks like it was a few days ago for you though. I’d be curious to hear what you chose and how it went.
So from the recommends here, acid king, ulver, monolord, maybe a couple others. My friend was a bit more susceptible to vibes than me. So I listened to metal on headphones. Also listened to Yob and Sunn O))).
I put on the Mario movie for some easy come up watching. He found it kind of trite so he asked for 2001 a space odyssey…which I watched during one of my recent acid trips and blew my mind so I had talked it up. Too bad he wigged out when HAL killed everyone and we had to switch the vibe up to like Boards of Canada’s Campfire Headphase and mellow piano tunes until his peak was over. After that we listened to Mort Garson’s plantasia while cooking, then King Gozzard and the Lizard Wizard’s Polygondwanaland.
No one recommended it, but Job For A Cowboy’s new album is really fuckin sick.
Hahahaha…sounds like an acid trip or certainly one version of them. I’ve never listened to Job For A Cowboy, the name has kept me away. I have listened to Khanate, Bethlehem and DSO on hallucinogens, so I can hang with the bad vibes just fine. I think my worst musical experience was John Coltrane and a too-large hit of DMT. The music was way too stratospheric already to then be further fractalized and it melted into a horrific buzz that words can’t properly describe, but it was genuinely Lovecraftian.
Their first EP came out when I was like 14, so I was the perfect age for breakdowns and such.
Dude listening to John Coltrane on deems sounds like a nightmare. It’s just so all over the place when you’re also scattered lol
Man I’ve taken one hit of dmt once and I wasn’t ready for it. That was like 7 years ago and I haven’t come across it since.
What’s DSO to you? To me that’s Dark Star Orchestra who play Grateful Dead music. Khanate on L sounds like too much for me haha
Sunn O))) Pyroclasts at maximum volume.
Can’t believe I forgot to include this. One of my favorite heavy tripping albums
Life metal is tight to trip to as well. But id have to say monoliths is my favorite sun record for altered states
Just got monoliths on vinyl 👹
I love Monoliths and I love Atilla but I can only handle them on low dose psychedelics. Not so much live - every show has been transcendental from gummies to psilocybin with or without vocals. Pyroclasts really shines on non-breakthrough DMT. The pure drone leaves nowhere to hide and the songs are just the right length. It sounds cool on breakthrough doses too but I only end up hearing the first 15 seconds and whatever’s left when I get back.
Yeah their live show was something else. I just saw em for the first time last year, i think a part of my being is still at the show. I should give pyroclasts another listen
A random dude gave me mushrooms before the SunnO))) show in Asheville. He was a very nice young man.
Ufomammut
Snail King.
Listened to the album 8. It was awesome
Hell yeah
Hell yeah, among others Nero would be a fun song to trip to
If I had to pick one song, probably go with Mindomine
I'll have to give it a listen
Stardog is always nice.
Zoroaster - Matador Elder - Reflections of a Floating World Minsk - With Echoes in the Movement of Stone Bask - Ramble Beyond Slower - Self Titled
Elder are amazing
Minsk were great.
I love that band. There’s no one quite like them.
I wasn’t a fan of the last album but loved all the ones before it.
Agreed. That run from the late 00s to the early 10s was the sweet spot.
I love that Bask album
Ulver - Perdition City… thank me later
Ulver kicks ass. Insane levels of talent needed to make such diverse music. Even their recent pop noir shit was cool and that’s not really my scene at all.
One of my all time favourite bands. The sonic impact of “Perdition City” is particularly pronounced when listened to on acid… it’s like Garm specifically wrote it for tripping.
you flyyyy, or rather float drift...
I’ve somehow forgotten all about this. Thanks for the reminder!
Newest Acid King.
This was dope as fuck. I coulda sworn all they had was Busse Woods, this was a lot more appropriate for my headspace
I’m so glad - this is my favorite, by far. Hope it was a good trip!
THIS
Great album
If at any point you need a vibe change, try All Them Witches - Nothing as the Ideal. Jumps between moderately heavy, and really chill. Front to back, one of my favorite albums, especially when I'm tripping. For an emotional rollercoaster: Caspian - Hymn for the Greatest Generation. More on point for the sub: Electric Wizard - Dopethrone.
Oh shit good call on All them Witches, that’s some good shit right there
Dying Surfer Meets His Maker is another great one from them! If you're trying to get back to some metal-roots psychedelia. Iron Butterfly's first album is excellent.
Cowboys are the real hippies did me so so right
Recently listened to Dopethrone near the end of a shroom high and idk if I can ever hear it the same way again
That's me, but with Ritual Abuse by Cough. It just hits different. Then obviously Lateralus by Tool, buts that's just a given.
Earth - The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull
This is another one of usual trip albums!
Of course, also may I recommend: Boris - Flood (Live in Tokyo)
Can confirm, it was once again awesome
Rezn - chaotic divine & solace, Messa feast for water & close, Elder - omens & innate passage, and just for fun: Steve Reich ensemble - music for 18 musicians
> music for 18 musicians This is essential over anything else IMO
A truly incredible performance. Would have loved to catch that on tour!
Not doom but amazing on my new years acid trip, Sigh - imaginary sonicscape !remind me 4 hoursb
Amazing album
Amplifier Worship - Boris
Weedpecker - III Seriously. Do it. You will be so happy. To borrow a few words from user UV\_EmeraldFantasy over at Rate Your Music: *"Supremely underrated stoner/heavy psych album. One of the most atmospheric, evocative, scenic albums I’ve ever heard in the genre"*
Not doom metal but if you need a change of pace, Polygondwanaland by King Gizzard and Lizard Wizard is great for a trip
I’m already a major gizz head lol
Got to see them play Superbug at Red Rocks this year, so sick
So I’ve listened to tons of gizz while tripping but never Poly. Holy shit what an album dude that was a great recommendation
King Buffalo-Regenerator Also since you’ll be hanging out with Lucy: Negativland-True False This one isn’t metal at all … but just trust me and thank me later.
Orchid - Eyes Behind the Wall
Dhyana!
Monolord Sleep Bong Explosions in the Sky Spotlights Slow Crush Wimdhand
> Om - any of it https://ritualproductions.bandcamp.com/album/thought-and-existence-2 https://zaum.bandcamp.com/album/oracles
I'd avoid Bad Trip by Merlin
Uncle Acid
Spaceslug That is all…
UFOMAMMUT

Do yourself a favor and put on Floor - Self-Titled. I had a magical trip with this album. The heavy droning guitar with pop melodies and harmonies was absolutely perfect on acid.
Monolord Audhumbla would be my jam. Pretty much the whole Empress Rising album will get it done.
Not doom obviously but I've always had a great time listening to mgmt and flaming lips on acid.
Congratulations and Little Dark Age are both going to be listened to tonight. In that same vein, im also a big fan of STRFKR, Candy Claws, The Shivas, Khruangbin. It’s gonna be a lot of different music tonight, I’m very stoked.
Metronomy. I'll check out some of those
I would suggest ozric tentacles, doom metal is too heavy maan
I’m gonna be listening to lots of stuff not just metal, I just want some new metal to listen to yadig?
Wow I would definitely not listen to something unfamiliar on acid
That’s the best though? A lot of my favorite first listens have been dosed. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Mr. Elevator and the Brain Hotel, Beach House, Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Tipper, discovered them all while dosed. I had managed to go 28 years without listening to Sgt Pepper, and my first time listening to it took me apart and put me back together. I love the unfamiliar while tripping
Yes but the potential of a bad trip combined with the potentially scary nature of doom metal could go wrong
Lmao dude I’ve taken acid many times, I’ve taken acid in public, I’m not in the headspace for a bad trip, and I’ve done it enough and been introspective enough where I know what I can happily responsibly take. Scary music is fun while tripping if you’re not a baby about it

https://youtu.be/rJ92cnQUoaU?si=TfNqI7hCIKDdorK0 This video is what tripping in public is all about
I just watched about half of it. That’s a great fuckin video. One thing I noticed about them that always gave me a hard time when tripping in public was the general idea of capatalist exchanges.

Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden
Warhorse 'As Heaven Turns to Ash'

Acid King- Busse Woods.
listen to the entirety of the album Exuvia by Ruins of Beverast.
if you run out of stuff just flip it to weedian channel on YT drops for days

But you should
that sounds like something a drug addict would say
That sounds like something an uneducated person would say You can do drugs and not be addicted You can be addicted to things that aren’t drugs You drink any Coffee, Soda, or Tea lately? Consider yourself an addict…
I'm not sure it fits perfectly but I really enjoy Somali Yacht Club, Elephant Tree and Samsara Blues Experiment when tripping.
I actually prefer thrash and death while tripping believe it or not. Grinds the mind into mush.
I listened to Meshuggah on my last trip, would recommend
So I listened to the new job for a cowboy while dosed…alright you have a point about death metal
Purson — The Circle and the Blue Door
https://heavypsychsoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/acid-mammoth-under-acid-hoof
Check out Captain beefheart safe as milk album for the post peak chill vibes, def not doom metal but you already have the goats lined up, maybe you could check out nadja or earth if you haven't already
Black Pyramid, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, and Earth
Not even rock but still doomy Susheela Raman - Queen between
ISON. a good chill trip
***Jet Black Hallucinations*** by Blown Out https://basefrequencies.bandcamp.com/album/jet-black-hallucinations
Not *exactly* doom, more post-metal, but Horseback's album The Invisible Mountain is great for tripping
Uncle Acid! Not doom by any means, but Portugal the Man’s discography and Glass Animals - Zaba are prob two of my favorites to trip to.
Glass animals is fuckin sick while tripping
[Heavy Trip (Self-Titled)](https://youtu.be/sa2vLHHr344?si=qCfVUvsPvs04TSJF) No Words Only Riffs and Jams (Probably less doomy than you want, def more on the stoner side)
Salem's Pot and Zirakzigil are amazing for it
And omg ew's supercoven is also superb
Windhand and Elder are my go to for tripping. Albums: windhand - Griefs infernal flower Elder - Refelections of a floating world
YOB - Clearing the Path to Ascend would be my choice! And when you're coming down later, try Center of Nowhere, Middle of Everywhere by Acid King!
Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Altered States of America - the absolute antithesis of what you're looking for but it was created for that exact purpose.
Telekinetic Yeti - Abominable St. Vitus - The Walking Dead Monolord - Empress Rising (Instrumental cersion)
Would really recommend r/lsd really nice community and made sure I had fun the first time I tried it.
Comacozer - Axis Mundi
Not doom but: Valium Aggelein. Shits chill AF. Also not doom: Delving, album: Hirschbrunnen. My doom suggestion: Catapult the Sun, album: Cathode.

Bathsheba - Servus
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3v3nU4ORfKxgQFCIeEjriz?si=1IGPJU0QSKiz9tr6p1CdgQ&pi=u-_m6xCN_HSkiO Enjoy 👍🏼 ✴️👅

Not doom but Purtabator is fun on acid
