Drugs and Heavy Metal....

Yeah there probably were some drugs involved. It's actually scarier to consider the possibility that there weren't, you know?

Sure, that would rate them automatically as "100% mentally deranged" persons...but i think that drug abuse was one of the first things on their daily agenda, at least in the EP period.

Now that's an interesting topic... who is making metal while completely clean and sober!

Not 100% Metal, but most THIN LIZZY is stuff was written under drugs and alcool influence.

Beherit - drug fuelled, drink fuelled. I would be interested in serious acid takers and Metal - like Esoteric... I can't think of any others, oh wait - Morbosidad! Tomas Stench likes his psychedelic substances. I could imagine Cirith Ungol being into cannabis and acid.

Motorhead!!!!!

Maybe. I think it was also Nidhogg-friend who used to be high on all sorts of stuff most of the time.

I think the number one Band would be Sleep and their Jerusalem release.They took their whole recording Budget and bought Weed and fucked their major label London Records by giving the label one track that was over an hour long.They even called it "Dopesmoker".

"Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow the smoke toward the riff filled land
Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow the smoke toward the riff filled land
Proceeds the Weedian, Nazareth "

Great!

I started a thread here a while back asking for suggestions of Psychedelic Metal, and i think a lot of the records mentioned in response would probably fit the bill for this thread too, like "Land Of Mystery" by Black Hole, The Mezmerist EP and Paul Chain's "Detatching From Satan", drugs surely inspired/aided/hindered/affected those recordings.
Normal everyday straight people just do not make music that fucked up.
Unless their name is Frank Zappa, who apparently never touched anything stronger than caffeine & nicotine.

Well yes, if you don't count cigarettes and caffeine!

Dawnbringer - almost all (only weed during the 2nd album)
Superchrist - Ladycutter 7"
Pharaoh - The Longest Night
and the new Superchrist CD actually

All recorded without alcohol or drugs. I also wasn't drinking during the recording of Nachtmystium "Instinct Decay" album, and let me tell you, that was a nightmare.

But I don't know if I'm a valid case. I've certainly had my ups and downs with various substances in the past, so maybe even if I'm not actively involved with them, those experiences forever changed me? There's no way to know now!

haha I've finished with them - they finished me! Still the occasional smoke and beer do it for me - one album that I love to hear stoned is *Killing technology* - absolutely amazing.

All the music I've made was made completely free from external chemical substances. But the inward biochemicals, they raged!
