is grindcore metal anymore? i mean, it surely was, especially with napalm, carcass, terrorizer but, i think (and here's my opinion) that most grind post-discordance axis is not metal anymore as much as power electronics or industrial are metal.

Wasn't Merzbow influenced by the guitar smashing of (alleged proto-metallers) the Who and Hendrix? Hawkwind have some astonishing noise sections. Perhaps metal has just reconvened with its psychedelic roots, and found industrial and noise along the way.
It's not far away from asking if doom is metal; most of it, yes, but Sunn and Earth are talking about La Monte Young; the weird thing at the moment, I find, is that metal is suddenly one of the more creative and absorbent of genres. There's only a degree of seperation between Abruptum and Derek Bailey. Madness, I tells you.
