all speed is is a thrash metal band who has a soloist who does fast and audibly changing solo`s, thats the thing that made early metallica thrash and early megadeth speed, for a true speed metal solo or 3 try finding something by the great kat, now thats speed metal

What exactly is fast and audibly changing solos? I think most thrash bands have fast and audibly changing solos. Probably most solos are fast and audibly changing.

I'm pretty sure "fast" and "audibly changing" are pretty much what defines Thrash.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

What do you get when you have fast and not audibly changing? Death metal? Sped-up minimalism?

If Motorhead count, then them but if not DragonForce.

Yeah, basically. THat and punk black.

Or bad death metal.

Are you familiar with blackcore? LIEK, BRUTAL BLACK VOMIT and shit and stuff?

I think the whole genre was made up by Masokismi and Tuska (which incidentally share some members). Very snotty and very necro black metal played by deranged Finnish grindfreak punks.

Darkest Hour is metalcore.  Thrash influences to be sure, but don't really belong in regular metal genre.


Also, I still hold that speed metal doesn't exist as a separate genre. Regardless of the fact that most metal bands play fast, almost any band you could label as speed metal could be called thrash, power, or traditional.


Ach, sorry.
Categorizing bands has never been my strong point.

I really don't think it's worthwhile to differentiate between thrash and speed.

One could maybe get into temporal restrictions on genre purity ala film noir modality.  In which case, it seems that a band could still pull off a traditional thrash sound despite modern influences, but labeling such a band speed metal may not be appropriate.  I dunno.

Don't worry about it, categories don't really matter anyway, they are just a handy way of talking about music, and if it was any other form of popular music than metal I would have a harder time categorizing too.

Yeah, exactly what I've been trying to say for the last several pages...and like you say, maybe as a sort of subcategorization, but not as a larger genre.
