If you are in the right mind-state, these songs will change you forever...

I truly hope these songs have the same impact they did on ANY of you that they did on me.
I recommend these as trip listens, probably to experienced trippers as they can be QUITE intense especially if used as Mantra... or give it a listen now and try and imagine the impact this would have on you if you did.
This music cannot exist without inspiration of the source 
The Contortionist - Language pt. 1
Lyrics:
Begin hyper-communication Restore our vision Of natural progression Rise in groves to reclaim the source The center
We will be the salvation the Mother seeks Traversing in all directions
Reaching Expanding
Balance finds it's place Reaching for the Mother Sun Rooted to intuition You are the language
Ever flowing Ever echoing
Drift with the ebb and flow Drift with the ebb and flow Ebb and flow Intuition sets in Branching out from your seed to seek
Contrived sense of inception Intuition speak to me
The Contortionist - The Parable
Lyrics:
"Repress all you know. My apologies' Enough, but it's all in your head. Fiction based off truths, you led me to aid you, guide you.
You are the language. Ever flowing, ever echoing. You are
On the eve of knowing all, my dear we know, patience because this all subsides in due time, all will be clear.
And the truth is I couldn't love you more than I have come to know. And this Mother Sun is proud to have watched you grow. You are the perceiver, that perceived the parable, the never-ending end. You are the infinite, you are the finite. You are...
You are the perceiver, that perceived the parable, the never-ending end. You are the infinite, you are the finite. You are....
Tesseract - Altered State - Of Matter
Lyrics:
I'm a surrogate I'm archetypal and itinerant I'm your excuse to long For a superior I will undertake I will overcome
Imperfection you will find Look close enough Tear off the mask I need This endeavor is not mine You subject me to the daggers you conceive I'm stronger than I was before Thus you reinforce these walls I can't fight you anymore Threatened by the open door All the chances I ignore I can't stand still anymore
The day is done Nothing left to say Resting head in hands Wishing I had known my place To take a stand The errand of a fool I'm not to reprimand I'm here to help you through
Is nothing like it seems? Living in this sequence, a dream Is nothing like it seems? Gather broken shards of self esteem
Burning bridges as I cower beneath Trying to salvage the debris My devotion tied around your waist lest you fall no one seems to sense the strain No one seems to know
I don't begin to proclaim that I know I can't continue down this road
Dwelling on what has come to pass no force alive will bring it back I would know I can feel the pressure getting steeper with every life lost You hope that I won't see the light of day in time to come With no conviction founded Just judgement contorted based on lust Give me strength Your assumption brings to a conclusion of no consequence and I refuse to play into your hands for your appeal
Inadequate, Inadequate I know I know I know I know I've hoped I've hoped you'll see me
Turn back time Reason why Break neck speed History
Waiting Waning Exasperating Unstrung Tethered Hoping forever
No! I tried to settle bets with my own soul Bless my lips for the first time before you don't Gripping to the last touch of your hand I grow to loathe Hope that you remember just how far I'll go I'll spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough
Resist. Resist. Resist.
Resist. Resist. Resist.
Tesseract - Eden 2.0
Lyrics:
Souvenirs sustain life Souvenirs of flesh and bone
Waste them all for wealth and gain When the time comes you'll know
Machinery dredge the sea All that's left is memory
No
All the time they lie to me They suffocate All the time They're suffering
So when will it end?
It breaks my heart to watch As we rip this world we have apart
Kill for pleasure Seven wonders of our history Endless pleasure Satisfaction is reality Careful pleasure Seven wonders of our history Empty pleasure
image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif
Machinery dredge the sea All that's left is memory
No No No No
Machinery bled the sea No You protect this misery
Sacrifice No Sacrifice
Machinery dredge the sea All that's left is memory
All the time they lie to me They suffocate All the time They're suffering
So when will it end?

The Contortionist - The Source (first time i heard this particular track, i immediately felt like i had listened to the whole thing many many times before, have felt strong personal attachment to it since)
Lyrics:
"A wave of intuition, washed over me."
The Contortionist - The Source Rediscovered
Lyrics:
"When will we rediscover love is all we need?"
TesseracT - Tourniquet
Lyrics:
"I'll wait for you; run wild and aspire Thrive, burn young fire When you say "fight back" our love won't tire Unweathered and untethered light
I promise you and I will see it through You lay dreaming No time to sleep as I begin to weep Life is fleeting I tighten fast inside your tourniquet Stop the bleeding Your tenderness, your softened skin All I needed
Your love is my tourniquet Learn to rise, contain the pressure This was supposed to be no miracle Bow down because I'm under pressure once again
I promise you, I promise you Take my strength I honour you with everything Take my strength I promise you and I will see it through You lay dreaming? The endless light you shine on me All I needed"
TesseracT - Hexes
Lyrics:
"Is there something I should know Of the colours that you show? I remember those words In the back of my mind There is an old phantom
It isn't a secret this mind's shrouded in history It isn't a secret this mind spirals in disarray It isn't a secret this mind shudders in mystery It isn't a secret I find terror in memory
Come close. Don't be afraid, It's stranger than you think Desperately opiate, weary Feverish host to us, teary eyed History hexes us History hexes us
Don't look. Don't think Don't feel. Don't move. Don't breathe Don't make a sound. It lives. It breathes In my conscious mind
It isn't a secret this mind's shrouded in history It isn't a secret this mind spirals in disarray It isn't a secret this mind shudders in mystery It isn't a secret I find terror in memory
I live and breathe again These gory locks, don't you dare forget them Don't you dare. Don't you dare. History hexes us I breathe again History hexes us I live again"

Martin Grech - Open Heart Zoo
Lyrics:
See in through both sides. Wants more to life. Know your limits boy Once more too high. Complicate your words. Clever talk won't impress me. Suffocate your thoughts. Empty my head. Fill this full of light. And open up.
TesseracT - Altered State - Of Mind - Exiled
Lyrics:
Turn your back on everything Banging heads with prophecy Lavish in uncertainty
Who will I be? How will I live to tell what I have seen? Must I endure the hell that comes with the peace? An equilibrium of god's own release What does it all mean? How can he justify? How can we breathe When the stagnancy's choking me? How can we dream? The nightmare The reality How do you sleep at night?
Take this doubt and fear to your grave
This life of stone The hand of god I'm too tempted to bribe I'm getting old and growing paralyzed We're all alone Until we let our minds take to the skies Our blood runs cold yet we remain alive
What's the confliction between heart and mind? How to bridge the void? Fuse the two in kinship To understand your prospects and vistas And yet to see the love here too It's more than I can do Vows and pursuits which at best hollow I remain torn in two
Just seize the moment Sabotage the lines Life turns on a dime Please cease the torment It's weighing on my mind The pressure you apply won't hold
Lavish in uncertainty Turn your back on everything

I truly believe that the Source speaks through the artist that looks in it's direction

I can see why you like it, and it has some alright parts, but I find it too serious, obvious, conforming and soft. This is what gets me going:

I was just going through my backlog of Shroomery emails, saw this post (From July 2nd.. damn, was I that far behind?) and had to come comment on it. The Language album by Contortionist is such a solid record all the way through. I had it playing on YouTube one day and it ended, Tesseract was next up in line which is when I discovered them. First reaction was something like, "How have I not heard of this band?"
But yes, ku-fucking-dos. I've listened to some of their other albums but Language is by far my favorite. Can't stand too much growling, there needs to be some melody for me personally. They have two different versions of that album, both are equally satisfying.
-------------------- A human being is part of a whole, called by us, the "Universe", a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

dude.. i know
Those two bands literally changed the way i feel about music somehow, in a way i cant explain 
was shocked a piece of art so perfect was possible, and equally shocked i would ever make that statement about a metal band xD
Let alone 2.
Also, Periphery, not my favorite, but they have some really good songs as well.
Wait for the chorus on this one, trust me First blast beat that ever made me smile instead of want to smash something.
wait for the chorus lol
