Black Speed Metal Events This Week in Los Angeles

About Black Speed Metal

Black speed metal is an aggressive fusion genre that emerged in the early 1980s, blending the occult themes and abrasive vocal styles of the first wave of black metal with the high-velocity, melodic structures of traditional speed metal. Typically characterized by raw production, galloping drum rhythms, and rapid tremolo-picked guitar riffs, the genre maintains a dark and blasphemous mood while prioritizing visceral energy. It acts as a critical evolutionary link between the NWOBHM-inspired speed metal of Motörhead and the more dissonant, atmospheric extremes of the second wave Norwegian black metal scene. This style emphasizes a dirty aesthetic, often employing lo-fi recording techniques to enhance its gritty, underground authenticity and raw spirit.
