sachavonkarl74 Belgian speed metal, with lots of energy and catchy traditional HM vibes. Seen them live twice, they are as amazing on stage as on their album. If you haven't yet, check their newer album as well, it's fast fast fast, just like speed metal should be !! Favorite track: Stay Drunk.

PeterDark Very cool stuff...
remember the energy you felt first time you listened to Iron Maiden' self-titled album or Metallica's Kill'em All? Favorite track: King of the Road.

Lute FP Killer classic metal, updated. Hints of early Maiden riffage, melodic vocals reminiscent of early Scorpions, song structures amped up to Speed Metal specs. These guys shred.

Clear the mind, a walk in the park The sun goes down, you’re alone in the dark Hold my hand, I will take you away In the night there's no-one but me Scream as loud as you can There never will be heard from you again Trust no-one based on what you see The man next door, the man in the street Cold as ice, fear me for your life Take your pick, the hammer or the knife Midnight murder! Killer in the night Midnight murder! Hidden from the light (2x) Your eyes get dark as your skin turns pale The moon is bright, it reflects on your face Live or die, the choice is mine Spill your blood, sacramental wine Your suffering makes me stronger The torture will last a little longer Your smile is gone, you started to cry Caress your skin with the edge of a knife Wipe your tears and look at the sky The choice is yours, a finger or an eye Midnight murder! Killer in the night Midnight murder! Hidden from the light (2x) You’re screaming for someone to save you But no-one can hear you from here The sound of the night makes you nervous You know that the end is near I’m evil, I’m mean, but I’m silent and clean There’s no need to beg for your life ‘Cause before you know it this all will be over And I’ll disappear in the light Feel your heart as it beats in your throat You suffocate, you can’t breath anymore Fear the face, the collector of souls In disguise, unrecognizable The wolves are howling to the moon The crows will be feasting on you soon Never doubt, a killer’s mind I won’t rest, until I take a life Just for thrill, the fear in your eyes Go to sleep, sacrifice your life Midnight murder! Killer in the night Midnight murder! Hidden from the light (2x)

I know what I need. Oh, I’ve got a need for speed Get the pedal to the metal. Flashing like a laser beam White lines are rushing by. Don’t know where I’ll sleep tonight Free as a bird. I hitchhike from town to town When I feel the fire, a burning desire When I hit the road I explode It’s like fuel and fire, only faster and higher So don’t try to chase me I’M THE KING OF THE ROAD Baby don’t stop me now, you never gonna slow me down My eyes on the horizon. I’ll show you the tail lights Adrenaline is kicking in. Every day, another sin Makes me feel that I’m still alive, that fire burning deep inside Know that a dire demon is driving He’s stronger and wilder than before The road is on fire, I’m burning the tires Do you dare to chase me I’M THE KING OF THE ROAD When I feel the fire, a burning desire When I hit the road I explode It’s like fuel and fire, only faster and higher So don’t try to chase me I’M THE KING OF THE… KING OF THE… KING OF THE ROAD!

Fighting our way through this lost society Never give up until we get what we need Metal is still alive and it always will be This is how we roll, we don’t need to be saved We are wild and we are free The worst kids you ever have seen And when we die we go straight to hell Faster than a cannonball WE ARE THE KIDS OF ROCK N’ ROLL The fire is still burning deep in our hearts Keeping it true, keeping it alive You’ll notice us when we’re in town We drink, we rock, we never keep it down You know it is our time today We metal maniacs, we reign This ain’t over, it has just begun Brothers, sisters, standing strong WE ARE THE KIDS OF ROCK N’ ROLL Don’t you say that we’re too loud This is what our life is about We scream and shout until our lungs pop out All for one and one for all WE ARE THE KIDS OF ROCK N’ ROLL

Fly High 03:05
Look at me now and how I still survive You can’t see I’m lying when you look into my eyes I’m a self-destructive maniac, my eyes left open wide The light that once was there is gone, I’m darker than the night Leave me alone, reaching for the sky Just give me more, give me wings and teach me how to fly I don't know what I’m searching for, don’t know why I try Just tell me what do I live for ‘cause I feel dead inside FLY HIGH Look at me now, I’ve been way too deep You never have to face yourself when you are asleep It’s hard to know I’ve turned down my friends and family But that time is over, my first promise I will keep FLY HIGH

Speed Queen 02:40
You go fast through the night Mysterious angel in the light If only I could reach for you I only want you by my side But you’re the Speed Queen Your appearance takes my breath away The hidden cards you’ll never play If only I could make you mine Even though you’d never stay ‘Cause you’re the Speed Queen One look in her eyes makes you blind A cold rush of darkness through your mind She’s thunder and fire, your life on a wire Watch out ‘cause you don’t know the SPEED QUEEN What you have is all I seek Without you I ain’t complete A desire unfulfilled You’re the one thing that I need You’re the Speed Queen I wait all night for you to call What I have, I’d leave it all I’d follow you around the world Come on over, take me now My Speed Queen Seek no sense ‘cause you won’t find Your memories and future will ignite But you have to know she lives her life on her own And that is because she’s the SPEED QUEEN One look in her eyes makes you blind A cold rush of darkness through your mind She’s thunder and fire, your life on a wire Watch out ‘cause you don’t know the SPEED QUEEN

Stay Drunk 04:52
Friday night, we’re hittin’ the bar Just the boys having a damn good time Tonight we get higher than the stars We drink until we drop, that’s just who we are It’s drinking time, better keep up Keep the beer flowing, never stop We don’t care about tomorrow tonight Rehab is for quitters, gotta stay drunk STAY! STAY DRUNK! Speed Queen is playing tonight They’re hammered as fuck, but still looking tight The crowd is going crazy and wild They know what to do, they stay drunk STAY! STAY DRUNK! Saturday night, we’re hittin’ the bar Just the boys having a damn good time Tonight we get higher than the stars We drink until we drop, we stay drunk STAY! STAY DRUNK!
