You should search for those NWOBHM bands that influenced Metallica (Blitzkrieg, Diamond Head, Savage ...) but here is one album from Venezuela released 2 years before "Kill 'em all". The sound is in places very close to Metallica on this track:

Musically (not so much vocally), i'd add STRANGER "The Bell" LP from 1985.

Try this one as well. I have centuries to listen to their stuff closely but I remember them to bear similarities:

You don't think that I.N.C. sounds like early Metallica? They were labeled as clones on their 1st LP.

Definitely more in the RTL/MOP vein. The overly energetic NWOBHMish vibe of KEA just isn't there.
