Title basically asks for it. Are there any, really?

(Heavy metal referring to metal as a broad umbrella, meaning anything that can be considered 'metal,' as opposed to just traditional heavy metal.)

I've heard various tracks from anime using metal-like riffs in combination with other instruments, but I can't say I've heard a soundtrack that's strictly metal all-around.

Aye, Dusk Maiden of Amnesia's OP does seem to draw from power metal slightly.

Detroit Metal City is the only one that stands out from the top of my head.

Like Tony said, I've seen a lot that use some metal riffs or songs here and there but whose soundtracks couldn't really be considered metal overall.
