Those are some good choices, though I would've gotten Walls Of Jericho for Helloween instead. Actually all of those albums are Speed Metal, but Speed Metal is a lot better anyway. For more Speed Metal (Which is as much Thrash as Speed), check out Heathen. Below The Lights kicks ass too, by the way.Life Sucks said:
Interesting. I thought they were power metal. I thought speed metal was basically the same thing as thrash, bands like Testament, Anthrax, Megadeth.Dodens Grav said:
Well, Helloween's first album, Walls Of Jericho, and Blind Guardian's first two Battalions Of Fear and Follow The Blind are Speed Metal, but everything after that by both bands is Power Metal (excluding like, Helloween's Chameleon). For Helloween Power Metal, get the two Keeper's, for Blind Guardian Power Metal, get Tales From The Twighlight World and Somewhere Far Beyond, and for Grave Digger, also check out Tunes Of War, Knights Of The Cross, and Rheingold, although Excalibur is generally considered their best. They're Speed Metal, but so what. Also, check out Stormwarrior, they're fairly reminscent of early Helloween, and they're not too big on the bombastic choruses. The guitar work is excellent and I love the vocalist. Download like, 7 songs from www.stormwarrior.de and you won't regret it. Also check out Lost Horizon, and maybe Edguy and Gamma Ray, though those may be too 'happy' for your tastes. Gamma Ray is an incredible band nonetheless, particularly Land Of The Free, and the song 'Rebellion In Dreamland.'Life Sucks said:
