Okay so I am a fan of deathcore and melodeath, and browsing through concert ticket websites apparently Shpongle is coming to my town soon and i've only heard of them from this website but the vibe I get is very...strange...
It's like demonic energy trying to fuck with your consciousness..
On a human level this album is insane but on a cosmic "Christian" level it seems very hypnotizing and I just don't know what to make of it..
Even the most harshest death metal albums don't give that effect...
Don't flame this thread just discuss wtf it is they do and their motives, and I mean no disrespect or anything, my lack of knowledge and bad trips may play a role in my ideology..

To be honest OP I kinda felt the same way but I kept an open mind and realized they're fucking amazing for tripping. You know what might be one reason you get the vibe that it's certain "messages?" Because they make their music in such a way as to remind your subconscious of certain events, times, and locations. I hope you know what I mean. Shpongle is honestly amazing and I hope you don't write them off as demonic. But then again, maybe they just got to me?

This is a big part of their mystique. I think the energy you're feeling is misinterpreted, it isn't malevolent. The DMT space is a large influence in their music. Their album Nothing Lasts is based on the content of an ayahuasca experience, and in trying to imitate that effect, they're trying to perhaps bring us "higher" or more aware.
Perhaps. But give them a chance. Their true talent doesn't show until you combine their music with the psychedelic experience.

I had a ticket to see them and got arrested 3 days before the concert. I was in jail thinking "Oh today is the day Shpongle is playing."

Shpongle is fucking rad. They have some pretty heavy and creepy sounding stuff, it's awesome. I saw them on October 6th, 2012. The anniversary of when LSD was made illegal in California. First time jedi flipping too

Fun fact: I met Simon while an older (probably middle aged) woman was trying to talk him into letting her give him a handjob.
As I walked away, I looked back and witnessed him say to the security guard next to him "...this is my friend uh..." (she says her name) and then they let her walk past them and go back to the backstage area.
Weird way to meet a hero. Still great music though!

Demonic energy? Haha no. It sounds so bizarre to you because its something that is birthed and flourishes in the bizarre.
Sphongle is a psychedelic artist. Their mystifying melodies are influenced by the inspirational flowing substances.
Psychedelics break down thought barriers and inhibitions. It lets one see everything, even what we consider the mundane, to be new and exciting. They evokes creativity and the creation of brand-new never before seen things.
As a Human you are able to see a very limited window of experiences. Psychedelics extend that window and let us gaze into eternity.
Those who enter the Psychedelic headspace can easily see eternity in any perceptible vibration (that of sound,light,tactile sensation, ect) one chooses to focus on, because one vibration implies the rest.
Someone, while peaking, picks up an ashtray and see eternity in it. After the drugs where off they try to depict their experience by replicating it, say in the form of a painting. Its shotty at best and the keepsake is useless to those who have not witnessed the experience that is trying to be depicted. Thats because it requires a mastery of an art to properly depict what that person experienced on psychedelics into a painting, and even then the painting still fails to compare to those who have not at least have a common- enough experience to see the picture with the same viewpoint as the author.
That is exactly what Sphongle is doing. They are using their mastery in musical composition to depict, as best as they are able to, their experiences of these mind-altering substances. Others fail because they lake the same influences and\or skills in the same form of art. Sphongle is such a great trip band because they very accurately translate the feelings of tripping into their music. It brings the listener back into that mystifying headspace..
Try listening to Sphongle on your next trip, or better yet go see them when they come to your town. I'm sure its a step towards opening your mind.

Demonic and intent to kill you.. the ego.. or the ignorance.. who knows. Maybe your soul..
-------------------- And thus begins the reverse-fusing of our one-dimentional understanding, and adds ever-expanding perspectives, in depth and number; splitting our perception, and in so doing, seemingly irrationally, creates yet more one-ness, with all that ever was, is and will ever be, streching across the infinite, inunderstood concept of everything, percievable and not.

Take a psychedelic and listen to tales of the inexpressible album. Then maybe you will understand shpongle. If not, I would say stick to your deathcore, whatever that is...

I listened to shpongle plenty of times but never liked the music until a couple nights ago when I listened to Museum of Consciousness after dropping 4 tabs. It was fucking insane, seriously. My body was stretching, and pulses of orgasmic vibrations made their way down to my toes. I was wearing headphones, and I was convinced that the sub frequencies were controlling my facial expressions. It was like my face was being massaged into smiling. A couple times, I just burst out in laughter because I couldn't believe what was happening to me.
It felt like I was doing cartwheels inside my mind. Like looking into the back of my head and seeing infinity.
The next day I listened to some more shpongle, and I didn't really like it again haha. So moral of the story is listen to shpongle while tripping.

They are life altering and so perfect while tripping... I swear they greatly amplify and guide the trip. However, when I listen sober, they are only okay... I usually don't even listen to a whole Shpongle album at a time when sober.
