Do you guys like metal ?

[Hamilcar]

this is a band I discovered when I was still in my teenage years... like 15 years ago.
still love it.
But what suprised me , is that in this song  you can hear alan watts at 2:51 ...
it was weird , because they released this album the same time I discovered about non duality , and the first time I heard the man speaking about life being a magnificient delusion , I was like "what the fuck ... is that what I think it is ? " , I didn't know alan watts at the time .
Anyone knows what was the title of this speech ?

Oh yeah. Been primarily stuck on Tool for years.
Others: Pantera, AIC, RATM, early Metallica

Not a stoner, but stoner rock has been grabbing my attention recently for some reason.

Maybe try watts fear or fear of death on YT.

Huge fan of Between The Buried and Me.  They have lots of spiritual themes, talking about cutting off pieces of yourself til what's left is real, "am i me?" "I wonder if i'm alive", talking about how life is a dream etc etc.

One of my favorite songs of there's, Obfuscation: 

 

From the simple idea of Change Blindness, our minds are not as they seem
An entire existence revolving around what we can’t acknowledge
From the simple idea of Change Blindness, our minds are not as they seem, as they seem
A brain malfunction we’ll never admit as defeat, defeat...
A constant determination to find truths, to find truths… to find reason...
To find reason... to find truths... to find comfort
An unspoken religion in being the all dominant, all dominant, all dominant...
This is what we call a brain
This is what we call a brain
This is what we call a brain
This is what we call a brain... a brain
This step will allow, allow the universe to run its course
We have a short ticket and a lot is in hiding... so let’s take in what we can for now
Just like here on Earth, a notion we do comprehend
Hide what “others” can’t understand
The universe is the biggest, biggest threat... overachiever that commands attention
Brute force of hysterical, hysterical reasonings...
There will always be a Marfa
Close one eye
Step to the side
Close one eye
Step to the side
As humans, we could never be content with knowing all
Yet we can’t be content with the fact that our brains will never know
A mental surgery... a never-ending journey... a technological drawback
Pushing us further from our natural minds
There will always exist a Kryptos
Even things created by other humans should be considered
In the experiment of an entire species of understanding
A magician’s pure joy...
A mind bend for the common folk...
Follow the straight line...
A full house watching what we can’t see
The ultimate deceiver...
Close one eye
Step to the side
Step to the side
We will always be part of the great misdirect... stepping in and stepping out
We will always be part of the great misdirect... mirrors and Obfuscation

 

I started listening to this band before getting into spirituality, and tbh could understand about 2% of their lyrics.  Then when learning more I'd start picking up on the meanings of many of their songs.  I believe this song is about how we are deceiving ourselves into seeing Reality in a certain way, obfuscating Truth, and as long as we are looking at things in the same way we'll do so forever, constantly in pursuit of truths when we need to close one eye, step to the side, and look at things in a totally different way.  Might be a bit of a stretch, the lyrics are pretty abstract, but it might be right.

Either way the guitar licks from 2:48 to 3:26 goes hard affff as does the rest of the song, especially up to that point.

@Hamilcar I don't know what that is but it's not metal lol.

 

This is my favorite current metal band. Gojira 

 

 

Quit moaning about fate and change
Stand up on your feet and rise
With every fall you get the pain, you learn the lesson
Start now, open your eyes

Dead bodies falling from the sky
We are the ape with the vision of the killing
A rain of shame that fills the mines
No other blood in me but mine

Time to open your eyes to this genocide
When you clear your mind you see it all
You’re receiving the gold of a better life
When you change yourself, you change the world

Your heart is pounding in the brain
As they drag you naked in the mud
A devil’s dancing in the rain
How could you fall so low?

No! we will never let go!
Let us watch them die!

Time to open your eyes to this genocide
When you clear your mind you see it all
You’re receiving the gold of a better life
When you change yourself, you change the world
