Gave Skeptics Apocalypse a spin this evening through my headphones = tinnitus. Definitely worth it though. You've gotta bleed for the Godz!

It's hard to deny that Agent Steel was the best speed metal 80's band, but i would like to throw KRUIZ into the fray. Russian speed metal masters!

I'm not sure if someone is mentioned already the mighty RAZOR... Total High Speed Metal in its finest.

I'm adding Damien Thorne To my list.

Kruiz did one amazing album IMO and it really is better than a lot of other speed stuff, but Agent Steel have at least 3 amazing records!!

Well, you could argue the same thing about most of us denying that Nu Metal isn't metal. Modern day advance, all the same...Avenger wrote: Calling Running Wild "Black Metal" today when we are all fully aware what Black Metal really is now is just being ignorant. It's refusing to accept and adapt to modern day advances.
For SPEED METAL... What comes to mind:
HELSTAR (Leather and Lust!)
HELLOWEEN
DAMIEN THORNE
ROTOR
RUNNING WILD (Although a tad more filthy)
ASSAULT
WARRANT

Not really, because other then 14 year old kids that never heard anything from the glory days of metal minus maybe the occasional Ozzy song are pretty much the only ones that listen to that shit.FuneralCircle wrote:Well, you could argue the same thing about most of us denying that Nu Metal isn't metal.

Clearly nu metal is metal, the name says it all, really.FuneralCircle wrote:Well, you could argue the same thing about most of us denying that Nu Metal isn't metal. Modern day advance, all the same...
I never pretended to like everything within 'metal' so for me it's not a problem to accept that a bunch of wankers that play shit music might be playing metal nonetheless.
