I thought they generally fell under Folk Metal?

Precisely. Everything you could call speed metal has a better genre label you could attach to it. Wuthering Heights are fast and awesome though.
Borondir:
Yeah I'd say speed metal isn't a real genre. Speed is pretty important in all genres except doom...
The only way I've ever used the label of speed metal is referring to New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands like Priest or Maiden. But you can always call them traditional, heavy or power too of course.
But power metal was invented by Helloween, right? ;)
Storm Rider:
Technically speed metal isn't a genre of its own, so a lot of Bay Area thrash bands also have the speed tag applied to them. Hence why I mentioned Megadeth.
NosLycn:
Speed metal is a sub-genre of metal. It is essentially Power Metal, only faster. You have to be a bit careful or else you'll arrive in the realm of grindcore.
Judas Priest is good. I consider that band to be along the lines of Ozzy. Not sure I could them as speed metal. Definitely hard rock.
Kai:
Um. Have you listened to either Ozzy or Priest anytime lately? They're kinda, like, nothing alike. At all. Ever. Not even Ozzy's Sabbath work is like it.
