So here's the deal. Although I've been listening to metal for quite a while now, there's a certain kind of metal that I'm sure exists but that I haven't come across yet. And I really want to find it.

The music I'm after is metal where there is constant high-pitch squeeling guitar solos going on throughout. almost non-stop. Closest stuff I've come across is the thrashier albums of Suicidal Tendencies. It's like the music is going on, the guy is singing or whatever, but there's a guitar soloing almost non-stop in the background. My conception of this is totally metal and I'm sure it exists... I vaguely heard some mexican teenager in Los Angeles listening to something kind of like this the other day on the bus. I kind of imagine that this is some kind of thrash or something, but whenever I listen to the "big" trash bands, it's not quite what I'm after.... I just love the shrieking guitars, with some palm-mutted riffage going on with a rhythm guitar.

I hope someone out there has some idea what i'm rambling about and can point me towards some bands..
 
These are the closest that I can think of:

Firewind
Joe Stump
Theodore Ziras
Yngwie Malmsteen

You also might be interested in Kalmah, who don't quite solo the whole way through each song, but they're melodic enough that you could get that impression.
 
Spawn of Possession never really has notable solos, but pretty much all their songs just sound like every instrument "soloing" out of context.
 
Carcariass pretty much have 8 minute solos haha... not quite, but in some songs they fucking go for ages. I would check out a couple of their records.

Insomnium also have quite a meaty dose of melody through solo.
