Happy Bicycle Day- The Top 10 Metal Songs to Trip To.

These days, I no longer take LSD, but I used to do it all the time and unlike kids these day never listened to electronic music or hippy shit, when I did, as light and love is not really my thing. Here are the songs that were my soundtrack for those days. If you are celebrating Albert Hoffman's bicycle ride today, then here are some songs that set the mood for my many meetings with demons, Aliens, and keepers of cosmic planes. Give these tunes a shot to tape into a heftier vibrational frequency that is more aggressive than passive. Perhaps a little darker, but you gotta get in touch with your shadow side somehow, so here are the top 10 metal songs to trip to.  

10- Marilyn Manson- "Cake and Sodomy"

There was an entire summer where I listened to this song at the onset of every trip, and dropped acid on an almost daily basis that summer.

 

9- Metallica- "Orion" 

This was always a good one to transition from a lucid state into the onset of altered consciousness.

   

8-Sugartooth- "Black Queen" 

Despite the double bass sections, this was a staple of my tripping sessions. 

7- Morbid Angel- "Where the Slive Live" 

One of the few death metal songs that sounds great tripping. If you want to scare hippies, crank this one while you are peaking.

 

6-Tiamat- "Whatever That Hurts"  

An underrated band, I tripped to the "Wildhoney" album many a night. Almost like a metal version of Psychic TV.

5-Voivod- "Astronomy Domine" 

You can't have a list about tripping without one Pink Floyd cover on it, and it might as well be the best. 

4-Type O Negative- "Green Man" 

Pink Floyd covers aside, this song comes the closest to the kind of hippy vibes I am not normally about, but the dusky shadows underlying this forest stroll are what work.

3-Neurosis - "Souls at Zero" 

I had some major altered experiences that the song "Locust Star' played heavily into; this song set an overall better mood.

   

2-Monster Magnet -"Ego the Living Planet" 

Most of my friends know the story about my most intense trip that involved this song and my Ouija Board. I talk to planets, baby

1-Black Sabbath- "Megalomania" 

Ozzy has stated that Black Sabbath were not a rock band that dabbled in drugs, but a drug band that dabbled in rock, and none of the other bands on this list would exist without them, so they take the top song.
