heavy metal purism

Noun describing a mindset among certain heavy metal fans who are preoccupied with distinguishing between "true metal" and "false metal". Typically, heavy metal purists dislike false metal, which often is taken to include glam metal, nu metal, alternative metal and metalcore.

Heavy metal purism tends to be more prevalent among younger metalheads, especially black metal fans. Practitioners of heavy metal purism are sometimes referred to as heavy metal purists.

Also often referred to as "metal purism" or "metal-purism"

“I thought it was really cool,” says Henke remembering when Bring Me The Horizon talked wanting these futuristic sounds. “They’re so creative and had so many ideas about what they wanted.
“Sometimes we didn’t know quite what they had in mind,” adds Fredrik. “But in the end it all made sense.
Did it go against any ‘heavy metal purism’ you might have had?
“Haha, no,” he laughs. “Good stuff is good stuff, and bad stuff is bad stuff. They do it right. I think many bands will follow them.”

Metal Blade Records

Metal Blade Records is an independent record label (founded in 1981 by Brian Slagel) for metal/rock bands.
It has offices in USA, Germany and Japan.

Bands such as As I Lay Dying, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cannibal Corpse, Fates Warning, GWAR, King Diamond, Slayer and Unearth are/were labeled to Metal Blade.

In my own opinion, Metal Blade Records is the best record company out their right now. Because MBR has many great death metal and grindcore artists signed to them.

Full metal Alchemist

It's actually spelt "Fullmetal Alchemist", but... It's about a boy named Edward Eric who loses his arm and leg while his brother loses his body and gets his soul stuck in a piece of armor.

They then travel to try and find the Philoshiphor's stone.

Extra note: I can spell "Inuyasha" fine. I'm a fan of both series. And I tell you now, stop fighting! Look, none of the plot is better than the other! One's trying to find jewel shards, the other trying to find a stone! They've both got great plot, great characters, great humor. So just... stop it. And try to enjoy both series without comparing or muttering about how one of them sucks because thatjust ruins the experience.

"Fullmetal Alchemist is a great show!"

Technical Death Metal

Often used interchangeably with progressive death metal, technical death metal (or simply "tech death") is a subgenre of brutal death metal that emphasizes complexity. It can be influenced by jazz or classical music. Some tech death metal bands have incorporated psychedelia, Aboriginal music, Mediterranean modes, and even symphonic elements into their music.

Decapitated is one of the most prominent technical death metal acts.

Full Metal Alchemist

An anime voted, called, and said to be one of the best ever.

Fullmetal Alchemist got voted 3rd out of 200 on http://www.animenfo.com/


In response to the question of which is better, Inuyasha or Fullmetal Alchemist, Inuyasha pales in comparison to Fullmetal Alchemist as a series that is dragged on, has pointless characters, over used humor, repetative plot, pointless filler and OAV episodes, poor endings and dubbing, sometimes shoddy animation, over used fight scences, and you get bored and can never quite finish watching all 300 some epsodes, while Fullmetal Alchemist has a mear 51 and has an interesting and absorbing plot, explained characters, well paced, and execellent animation, and interesting voices and a seamless intergration of drama, humor, and horror.

Therefore, a better anime than Inuyasha.

And I've seen both.

Inuyasha is for anime wannabes.

Go watch some real anime like Hellsing, Evangelion, or Fullmetal Alchemist.
