IMHO - early Metal Church was 100% speed metal!!! Especially their 'pre-debut album' days. But that first album is speed metal. Then with "The Dark" they charged into more power metal territories.

if I knew the exact definition of speed metal, I'd probably choose those two. I've been hearing the term "speed metal" for more than 25 years and listening to speed metal for just as long and I don't know if I truly know just what the heck it is exactly. What we used to call power metal isnt the same as power metal today, and the same for speed metal. All these genres just seem to be argument starters.

To me, the best two Speed Metal bands are easily Anvil and Motorhead. With that said, I'll give a special mention to Gargoyle (USA) because they are amazing and most people don't know about them. I can't really describe their sound, but check them out if you haven't:

CAN METAL CHURCH COUNT?

I'd call Metal Church speed metal before labeling those other bands you mentioned speed metal, they are all pretty much straight-up thrash metal. I wouldn't call Deliverance speed metal either.

My favorite speed metal bands would be Venom and Exciter, I don't know which one I would prefer between those two, but I considered each of them my favorite band on different occasions. Savage Grace, Running Wild, Acid, Znowhite, etc. would be some of my other favorite speed metal bands. Honestly, this is probably my favorite sub-genre of metal. \'arry \'eadbanger

Deliverance use to make a point to say in interviews that they weren't a thrash metal band, but a speed metal band. I suppose the difference being a thin line that mostly has to do with the vocals approach.

As for Metal Church, even back in the 80's we called them power metal. Heavier than traditional heavy metal, but not quite thrash metal, thus the "power metal" tag. Still, they fit in the category as neatly as any of these bands listed.

I know, I'm a genre nazi. Embarassed

To me Deliverance were a speed metal band with a few thrash songs. Not a thrash metal band.

I've always just claimed Metal Church as a Heavy Metal band.

VECTOM two albums or MANIAC debut are also cool speed metal records from the 80s. And of course MURO from Spain, they were the best speed metal band of this world. Check them out:

ANNIHILATOR had some speed metal songs but they were and are not a speed metal band. Same with METAL CHURCH. ANTHRAX debut have a lot of speed metal songs on it, and also the first AGENT STEEL is pure SPEED METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
