I wouldn't call that a bargain for getting nothing but some computerised data! Having the proper album art with photos, notes, lyrics etc. is a big part of why I buy CDs!

yeah i agree totally but if you look at the prices on ebay/amazon youll be gobsmacked.

i try my best to buy the real thing.but in this case its gonna cost half my wages for 2 cds

im sure a percent of the download will go to the band whereas the silly money paid to ebay/amazon sellers will only benefit themselves.

i was just offering an alternative.

or you could just download from youtube to realplayer and them burn from realplayer to cd.all for free

ive only done that a few times for ultra rarities.

Yeah I know what you're saying Rik, I just think it's a bit rich for Amazon to charge the same price that most CDs cost (including all the packaging and production) when all you're getting is some MP3 files.

Can't believe I forgot this, which is maybe THE overlooked gem of speed metal.

I dont familiar with speed
but I do know one lost gem
Exodo from Spain
their only LP The New Babylon is one of my favorite album.

really that crazy?

I saw their album on Shadow Kingdom Records[former known as Evil Legend]
back on 1 or 2 years ago at normal price
but I'm not sure it's reissue bootleg or what

Bloostlust- Guilty As Sin is a pretty good speed/power album from 85, I have an LP rip so I'm guesssing it might be quite hard to find?

I remember french band ADX were a bit speed metal

Predator - Easy Prey is a pretty typical speed/power style album, quite listenable (would probably appeal to fans of Blessed Death a bit) but the artwork is fucking terrible!

Hallow's Eve - Tales of Terror is a NECCESSARY album to hear! Very fucking good power/thrash style, I class it as speed metal, definately has that sound, another one from 85!

Not sure if KUBLAI KHAN would be classed as speed metal? I think they have that quite defining sound that I know as speed metal, it's quite cool, nothing mindblowing but they have one album - Annihilation, I like it!

Also - S.A. Slayer are pretty damn good, very old-school metal stylings but a bit speedier

Hallows Eve were alwyas good, but their last album was awful...

That was released on CD via OLD METAL RECORDS (King Fowley's - Deceased - label)

oh cool, i just remember seeing an LP rip on the net a long time ago (hence why i have it) shall have to track that down at some point when i got money!

Here's a few more that people haven't mentioned as yet:

SENTINEL BEAST - "Depths of Death" 1986

ZNOWHITE - "Act of God" 1988

ACID - "Acid" & "Maniac" 1983 (love this band!)

KILLER (Belgium) - "Wall of Sound" 1981 & "Shock Waves" 1984 The "Immortal" album from 2005 is very good too - check out "Drifting Away" on the My Space link. Pure Speed Metal - http://www.myspace.com/killerhelgium

The Abattoir album turned up, it's enjoyable stuff, definitely for fans of Motorhead - I'd say it gets better towards the end, but I need to give it some more plays. Quite a banger!
