A derogatory term for technical deathcore and technical death metal, coined by the infamous Metal Archives review writer Bitterman. Presumably conceived as a way to avoid calling the genre an actual type of metal.
"So, what type of metal do you listen to?"
"Rings of Saturn, mostly"
"Ugh, I can't stand that tek-deaf wankery"

What "Tek" are you using?" What "Tek" should I use? Your "Tek" sucks! Translation: Dude don't reinvent the fucking wheel, follow the known "Tek"

An acronym for Time and Experience = Knowledge. A TEK is a guide created by someone who put in the time to figure out how to do something and documented it online for others (who could then follow the guide and try to reproduce the results). A TEK is in contrast to knowledge passed down in schools or textbooks for example. A TEK is a different type of knowledge born out of personal experimentation and online research.

An extremely rare personality that is not quite mortal, but not immortal. Has to have a "host" body to exist in the world. Only able to exist without a host by separating the personality, and then storing it.
Extremely intelligent and secretive, usually trying to blend in with common people so it is hidden. A complete boss at nearly everything (usually being bad and selfish) being intelligent, seductive, manipulative, and strong. Don't anger him, he is quick to strike back, and strikes hard.
Resides in ones mind behind the scenes of many actions, and claims to be strong enough that he can destroy the hosts mind by causing it to go insane, therefore Tek is the only semi-stable personality in the body.
