One of my favorite old-school metal songs is "Unstoppable Force" by Agent Steel, and for the longest time, I thought they were thrash metal because I discovered them via a YouTube video about thrash metal. However, now I'm seeing quite a few sources that label them as speed metal, so now I'm wondering: would you consider Agent Steel to be speed metal or thrash metal?
 
The line between speed metal and thrash can be pretty thin sometimes.

So it goes to the ear of the beholder IMO.

It doesn't matter as long as more folks listen to Agent Steel in the first place. They've never gotten their proper respect.

Since I watched about Paragon School on YouTube, I've been experiencing the same problem.
