I know a few people mentioned that they like speed metal, so I'm making this thread to get (and give) recommendations.

I currently listen to:
Agent Steel
Exciter
Razor

And, sadly, that's it.
Here's a list of "speed metal" bands -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_speed_metal_bands

Its very debatable the ones listed here are speed,power, thrash, or just metal. Raven, and Accept for instance are great 80's metal bands. They both have some faster songs. But they really have as much in common with AC/DC, as they do more traditional Metal bands like Maiden & Priest. And both teetered on the line where they weren't out of their element alongside Motorhead or early Metallica etc.

Off the list I'd say definitely check out Realm's Endless War (Very cool slightly Progressive thrash), anything by Helstar, Heathen's Breaking the Silence, & Helloweens Walls of Jericho.
Yeah, Wikipedia can be pretty off on genres.

I'll try Endless War. Everything else I have, actually. Well, I don't have Helstar's entire discography.
