Gateway bands?
    #19108412 - 11/08/13 11:51 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I've heard things about some bands being good gateway bands. Tool or Earth for example. Does gateway band mean what I think it means but am too skeptical to admit? Should I trust myself and the things I perceive (lack of a better word) under the influence of psychedelics? At this point even without them?

Ok, this is my problem, I have some semblance of what this "gateway" leads to, but I do not fully understand it, probably because I haven't gone through, rather opened the door and looked at what was on the other side. I can't help but be immensely skeptical of what was shown to me. Doubt it's validity and reduce it to merely the effects of a drug, having no place in reality. Is it that I'm afraid? I want to embrace what I picked up on, but I can't help but think that I might just be losing my mind. Though considering the core of what I've been shown is "trust in your actions". In other words change yourself for the better. Am I just trying too hard to figure out WHAT it is that is telling me this? Should I forget about the THOUGHT/IDEA and focus on my ACTIONS? I guess really what I'm looking for is a word of approval. I want to be told that I am going the right way, and that I'm not wasting my time, and fucking up my brain. I want to trust this. Awesome song, and awesome sig :thumbup:

I'm glad you liked it. Kalmah is a great band. Thats such an old song and their style has changed completely the last few albums..

Anyway: I tell everybody this

You live one life

Make it count

You can sit, stare and wait until you die

Or

You can get up and do what is right

For yourself

It's all in our hearts, let go of the wrong doings you have caused in the past; drop the past in general and move forward in life making every day count.

Start on what is the most important; you. Your body.. Exercise and consume healthier stuff.. Do what you can internally, so externally others around you will notice, and thereby follow, or disregard what you are trying to do. But atleast you will be able to sort out your followers, and drop the rest out of your life, to make positive energy occur all around you. What you do is what will grow. Where you go is where you're at. Remember that.

You have already awakened and evolved just by reading what I have said alone. Subconsciously there is a seed I planted inside of your mind, you will know when the time is right..to truly say "I'm Happy"

This song I present to you is a Song for the Hopeless.

"Embrace the ones who love
Don't turn and walk away
Salvation lies within
If the heart is open"

Beautifully put deathcore.


Music can be a doorway to the reality that exist beyond the metaphor. Psychedelics will guide you into yourself because you are yourself always, and opening up to it is just as natural as breathing. It is who you ARE.
SO next time you are on a psychedelic journey just allow the medicine to work through you and witness your mind manifest.

Thought of what the experience is are just thoughts, you can try to hold onto that and stand apart from your experience but in reality that is just another aspect of this experience which is the continual flow.


So surrender to the flow and find out what you already know.



Certain music can inspire visions and utilize rhythm as a form of trance to allow oneself to explore space within the mind. The music can resonate and open up parts of yourself, doorways or connections that are already there in potential and provided the right conditions can transport/transform ones state of consciousness.


One must have held on to feel that one has let go. But when the self dissolves, who will know?




This music has guided/inspired deep healing journeys

Without a doubt focus on your actions over thought. I know it's not easy to let go of your worries. Just don't take your worries seriously man. They don't really matter. The only way you'll ever find truth is to try things. So try where life is taking you. Relax and be patient. You have my approval.

Oh.. and do what feels right.

what does 'gateway band' mean? gateway to psychedelics or other drugs? gateway into introspection? gateway to a similar sound?

It's incredibly hard to explain. When I trip I get this recurrent feeling of I'm on to something big, like I'm bring recruited. Certain bands seem to speak to you under the influence, like their guiding you through a gateway to a higher level of consciousness. I find myself doubting the validity of it, out of fear most likely, I need to stop making excuses for myself.

Does my earlier posted definition of "gateway song" agree with yours? If it does I'm fascinated that it was that song in particular.
