That's fucking Metal/music-based. This is coming from a guy who knows fuck all about anime, so there might already been a really famous one I'm missing, but all the ones I know of that're even remotely music related are Gravitation and BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad...but they suck (IMO). So yeah, think Dethklok, but anime. Or hell, I'd even settle for something outrageously over the top with guitar laser swords...

Any help is greatly appreciated :P

Watch FLCL. It's music based, with a soundtrack by The Pillows. Also, there are gas powered guitars which are used to smack people in the head and open up inter-dimensional gated to pull robots through!!!

This. It's not heavy metal, but is strongly influenced by rock.

It's just an awesome anime. It's only 6 episodes, so even if it ain't exactly what you're looking for it's still worth sitting through.

Cowboy Bebop has a lot of jazz, and once again it's awesome. :/

i can think of a few anime series with a hard-hitting heavy metal soundtrack, but nothing like what you described. well, besides metalocalypse. :p

dead leaves maybe? there's also that movie put together from all of daft punk's music videos...can't remember what it's called.

Interstella 5555. Cool movie if you like Daft Punk (and/or anime).

There is a soundtrack with bands such as Coal Chamber, Apartment 26, Billy Idol, Monster Magnet, Pantera, System of a Down, Queens of the Stone Age, Puya, and other prominent heavy metal bands.

I seriously doubt it.

Interstella 5555 has got to be one of the greatest movies of all time.

Seen it, loved it, but does it really count as anime?

Considering that "anime" is a French word having nothing to do with Japanese cartoons, I'd say yes.

First thing that comes to mind is Black Heaven. It's got guitars, and it's way over the top.

Thanks! I'll look into it...

all anime sucks dick so go kill yourself you faggot emo bitch

If you hate anime so much, why are you posting in an anime forum?

You know, you could substitute in any form of entertainment that you don't enjoy there.

For instance:

all sitcoms suck dick so go kill yourself you faggot emo bitch

all reality shows suck dick so go kill yourself you faggot emo bitch

all National Lampoon's Movies suck dick so go kill yourself you faggot emo bitch
