Best metal ballad - by a speed metal band

The Rage track is awesome, buddy - I was running with Overkill out of emotion. I live in a small village in Ireland, and one of our kids, only 21, was murdered in Japan last year. Her name was Nicola Furlong - her killer was RICHARD HINDS (19), an African American, who was sentenced to 5 - 10 years. Under Japanese law he was tried as a minor. He showed no remorse during his trial - and laughed at the verdict - knowing he'll probably be out in half that.

She was only a child - and he has destroyed her family forever - sorry, I feel a tad messed up over the verdict sentence.

"Not Forever" is excellent. I hadn't heard the Overkill one before.

Breaks my heart every time I hear it.

man, messed up story..

Thanks for posting the rage track.

Rules!!!

Either:

Sacred Warrior - Holy Holy Holy

or

Metal Church - Watch the Children Pray

Metallica-Fade to Black

If Metal Church is speed metal now, then Anthem to the Estranged.

Otherwise

I'm wondering what the best speed metal by a ballad band is.

I'd never heard of them before. Great track. German band.

Here's my vote from a true speed metal band........

I absolutely love this one..

Lääz Rockit - The Omen


There's some exceptionally haunting beauty to it...
It's also one of my favorite songs to close an album.

Return to Serenity by Testament.

Sorry to hear about that, Chrome Locust.

I have a former co-worker whose close friend was murdered a few years ago (stabbed over 100 times). The killer was convicted last year and sentenced earlier this year. He will be eligible for parole in 2017.

In the courtroom, when he was being sentenced, he yelled obscenities at the victim's family, and said, "You guys ain't gonna break me. I'll still be smilin'."

"One" by Metallica.

Excellent choices there. I was going to mention the DA track if someone else hadn't.

Thanx, friend. I'm so sorry for your friend. The whole justice system is a joke. I saw Dr Phill (on Ytube the other night - normally I can't stand Dr Phill as he is a joke - but even he made sense on this subject ) a show a few years back about Rodney Acala, a vicious serial killer, sentenced to death 3 times, since 1979, yet still taking the piss out of the justice system with his endless appeals. Acala was caught in 1969 (or thereabouts) trying to murder a child, after raping her. He got parole after 17 months. After that, he got caught trying to give a minor some hash, in order to rape her - he got 3 years for violating his parole. He got out and murdered X amount of young girls.

I'm just lost for words, as your country, my country, every civilized country protect this vermin like they are an endangered species. I am lost for words.

I found a link to a video montage using the Overkill track, I found apt.

EDIT: I only watched the first song at writing this post, and it went on, and I'd advise extreme caution - it gets very graphic, and I mean graphic after a while - its a pro death penalty vibe.

I have a daughter. 25 yrs old.

Its estimated that America has 100 active serials on the loose. Scary statistics: that makes 2 serials per State. Its an unheard of phenomena here in Ireland. We've had one noted case in the 70's of two guys killing three women and got caught. We had another case in the 90's when up to 8 young women went missing. One guy: Lenny Murphy was caught in the act of raping and attempting to murder another young woman in the Wicklow hills (he is prime suspect for the previous slayings) by hunters. He got 11 years in prison and was set FREE!!!!!!!!!

A cold case related to him is from an American tourist Annie Mcarrick who vanished where Murphy operated from in the Dublin mountains is still open. It was him, but no proof can tie him to the case as her body has never been recovered, like the 7 others.

Bar that, no known serial killers on this island. Which is worth studying. How does America have 100 active serials per calender year - yet we don't any?

This one's easy--Years of Decay.
