SPEED METAL CRUCIFIXION (: on the art of making mixtapes)

ION BRITTON · Post by **ION BRITTON** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 1:02 am

A good idea would be to split the compilation in different parts:

Speed metal the American way/Speed metal the German way or something like that, call it european if you don't like German but i think you get the idea.

There are some things that characterize each style, no need to mention them right now, so i think that the split would make them much clearer.

Getting the Acid record, I'll definitely have some Exciter in there. No Brocas Helm (HEAVY METAL no matter how fast they go, for me.) Hey, what's wrong with considering Judas and Banish from Sanctuary speed? Tastes, I guess.

I'd say they're speed just the more melodic German type as speed as Thundersteel anyway.

No Accept and Judas Priest in general or just the mentioned songs above?

Accept - Aiming High
Anvil - Shadow Zone
Iron Angel - The Metallian
Paradox - Pray To The Godz Of Wrath (Or anything off their first album)
Rage - Down By Law
Riot - Black Leather And Glittering Steel
Risk - Pyromanic Man
or
Risk - Russian Nights
Running Wild - Masquerade
Running Wild - Pile Of Skulls
Warrant - The Rack

Then what about these:

Tension - Reach For Your Sword

Prowler - Back Fire

Strattson - Face A La Lune

"Judas" + "Banished.." = classics. Go for 'em.

Most important addition: "Conjuration of the Watcher" - ORIGINAL SIN. The speemetaliest Speed Metal ever written!

HOLY TERROR - Debt of Pain
SABBAT (uk) - Wildfire
ANESTHESIA - Prelude to Ruin (from the "Norway Rocks" compilation. I'll reupload it later today)

Thanks! Since everybody's praising that album I'm really curious about it.
Now I don't know if this is a bit off-topic but what songs/bands are closest to mein kampf musically? 'Speeder' Determs what Speed Metal is for me and I love the drum sounds.

I thought MEIN KAMPF sounded a bit like a poor man's LIVING DEATH actually.

Now that you mentioned it.. "Vengeance Of Hell" sounds kinda similar to MK. There's something 'magical' about speeder for me. Maybe it's that amateurish charm, perfect sounds or something I can't explain that made me love it after listening to it few times.

Some more speed recommendions:

Death Dealer - Far And Away
Living Death - My Victim
Reaction - Insane

Is Zadkiel too "blackened" for this thread?

Where's the fun in that?

I was considering something from Paradox, but it happens my favourite record of theirs is 'Collision Course' (Heresy! I know!) and that's pretty much melodic power/thrash. They don't have to be just speed, they have to be songs that destroy my brain, and all that do that from Paradox are thrash songs.

Tension... I listened through 'Breaking Point' again last night when I was thinking about the compilation, and god it's an amazing record, but the fast song in there is the worst! Prowler and Strattson I don't know.

I consider Holy Terror and Sabbat. Looking forward to the Anesthesia song.

I would like to add anything by Blood Money!

tomas wrote:'Mad Locust Rising' by Agent Steel... Fucking hell!!! Without a doubt one of my speed metal favourites. The riffs, the speed, the VOKILLS!!!!!! It's unbelievable!

My words as well!!!

I agree speeder is the perfect speed metal song. i could give a shit what the band beleives in or advocates (though it was purely an image. none of their lyrics had anything to do with nazism)
how is it any worse than some of those groups that just talk about murdering people in general?

anyway, my list is this:

Aion - Ma G Ma
Metallica - Motorbreath
Jaguar - Dutch Connection
Vio-Lence - World in a World

Hell yeah! Fuckin' "Shapeshifter" for crystssake!

These two Anesthesia songs are AMAZING. I wouldn't say speed metal, but really really awesome to the max. Did they do anything else?

Post by **DaN** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 1:30 pm

Nope
