Music: Styles: Speed Metal

Next to death metal, this is the least interesting sub-genre. Usually quite fast (too fast), an avalance of simplistic riffs and lots of drums, the vocal (always male!) shouts, there's no singing to speak of. Lots of people seem to like this, I don't know why. There's really only one bearable group here, and only for one album: Grip, Inc.'s Solidify.
