Aggressive Power Metal Bands...

No it's not, man. That implies that Speed Metal isn't even a genre, so right there your argument falls into The Pit Of Stupid, Shitty Arguments. There's really no point to make a further rebuttal.
 
You so called Metal fans need to use Wikipedia more "Speed metal is a cross-genre reference to bands, mainly from the thrash metal and power metal genres. The term is mainly used to differentiate between bands of either genre who use tempos or beats that are faster than is normal for either genre, but is also tends to reference bands that combine aspects of the two genres."

Oh dear.

Wiki has never been, isn't, and never shall be an authority on metal, I'm afraid.
 
Wow, using WIKIPEDIA to cite declarative information on A GENRE OF METAL, way to go Ass Berger.
 
It's not an accurate definition at all. Speed Metal in itself is a genre, not the fairgrounds at which both Power Metal and Thrash Metal frolic.
 
It's not an opinion. In Flames does NOT play Death Metal in any way. It is not my opinion that they don't play Death Metal. They actually DON'T. It's not even an issue of opinion.
