@Bodylouseuk :
ADX is a speed metal band singing in french (except for one album), with Priest and old Helloween influences, really good work.
Borcas Helm is hard to describe, a kind of old heavy dark metal....

But sorry I don't know the two others

Blood Feast was an old school thrash band that had three releases: Kill for Pleasure, Face Fate EP, and Chopping Block Blues. KFP was very fierce and raw, and much better than Kreator's Pleasure To Kill, which it's name forces people to compare it to. With Chopping Block Blues they got slightly more melodic, but still were fucking great, I think I actually like CBB a little more. If you do a search for them on Google, or go to the New Renaissance webpage you should be able to find some more info on them.
