Just curious about your opinion; mine is Whiplash by Metallica, although technically that's thrash metal.

Wheels of Fire by Manowar. It's so stupid that it transcends mere music.

I've been digging the whole new Deeds of Flesh album, Of What's to Come. They're not as speedy and more deathy than some speed metal, but I think they fit.

I really don't understand the overlap with video games, metal and the internet.

This is true. I've been getting more and more into space metal or space rap recently. Not too much explicitly in the metal genre compared to dungeons and dragons style mythos.

I consider Thrash and Speed to be mostly the same. Too much genre labeling is bad, it doesn't need to be that complicated. Also if you think Testament is Grindcore then your crazy.

I think if we're going to create what are essentially nearly non existent distinctions between various "styles" (which are essentially marketing terms invented to make people feel like they're participating in something special) then we might as well stick to them. I don't listen to metal often. Only when the mood strikes me and I like it as fast and stupid as humanly possible. I prefer Pig Destroyer since they throw in a sort of avantgarde element that appeals to me. Personally I think most music in general is like an auditory disease. Maybe that's a little pretentious, but I am an avantgarde musician so.... and I'm a dork.

I was honestly expecting people to post some speed metal/ thrash metal by the REALLY big metal names. Sure, Testament is kind of big, but I mean BIGGER.
