Welcome to the Evil Metal podcast brought to you by JB M Sound Studio. My name is Joe. I'm an entrepreneur, musician and you guest it a metal head. This podcast is about the evolution of metal, starting from the 60s still today, the pioneers and visionaries that created the sub genres and pretty much everything. Metal. Welcome metal heads, head banger and Mosh Peters to our second episode of the Evil Metal podcast. Today, we're going to dive into speed metal. Speed metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that was born in the late 70s from the new wave of British heavy metal and hardcore punk. Let's first explore the roots of speed metal and have a closer look at the new wave of British heavy metal. The wave started in Britain in the late 1970s. It was developed partly after the decline of early heavy metal bands such as deep purple led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, which we discussed in our first episode, bands of this wave really toned down the blues influences of their predecessors. They increased the Temple adopted a tougher sound and even incorporated elements of punk rock, Saxon def, Leopard, Angel Witch Diamond Head and Iron Maiden were characterized by power chords, melodic guitar solos and soaring vocals with lyrical themes mostly based on mythology and fiction, all played at the fast and upbeat tempo along with Ronnie James Di and Judas priests. Rob Hod Bruce Dickinson is one of the pioneers of the operatic vocal style. Iron Maiden's legendary frontman says his style was primarily influenced by Jethro Toll's Ian Anderson, the Purple's Ian Gillian and Arthur Brown, also known as the God of ****. Fire. This era is considered as a major foundation for extreme mental genres which we'll talk about in the upcoming episodes. The band, Motorhead is very often credited as the first band to invent and play speed metal. However, Ian Kilmister A K A Lemi always insisted that Motorhead were a rock and roll band. Nonetheless, the band has been credited with being part of and influencing numerous musical scenes, especially speed metal and thrash metal. Their lyrics covered topics such as war, power, substance abuse and most famously gambling as displayed in their famous track, The Ace of Spades. Do you guys remember the unholy trinity of heavy metal we spoke about in the last episode, consider the song speed king by deep purple. Not only is the song, very fast, technical and extremely loud. It was recorded in 1969, nearly a full decade ahead of the genre being recognized. The track fireball also became a reference in many heavy speed and thrash metal songs for years to come though usually known for their fairly slow sludgy tempo songs, Black Sabbath After Forever is a very up tempo song with a much faster pace than any other song in the band's repertoire. Another early template for speed metal is led Zeppelin's communication breakdown, which also happened to be recorded and released in 1969. Not only was the Unholy Trinity, the pioneer of heavy metal. Its legacy also continued on through the next generation and was instrumental and essential in the birth and development of speed metal. Speed metal sound varied a lot between regional scenes, European bands such as Dragon Force and Iron Angel based their sound on bands like Motorhead and Venom. Japanese bands such as the Sex Machine Guns had a more melodic sound that resembled Power metal. Yes, you heard it right. The band's name is intentionally similar to that of the sex pistols, implying that machine guns are more radical than pistols, North American bands such as Racer X and Razor had the faster, more aggressive sound that would later influence the thrash metal movement which we'll be talking about in the next episode.
