God fathers of what?

Anvil is more of a Traditional/Heavy Metal band then they are Speed Metal.

Only a few select songs that the band ever released were pure Speed Metal.

There aren’t many pure Speed Metal Bands, if you think about it.

I would say Exciter, Anvil and Riot were the pioneers of that genre.

Then came bands like Agent Steel, Defender, Abattoir, Savage Grace, Rex Inferi, Angus, ADX, Mania (Ger) and put it all on a higher level.

From the newer bands I would say that Cranium from Sweden are a perfect example of pure Speed (no Thrash).

Feel the white hot metal, feel it burn your skin
Experience the torture, pay for all your sins

Thats speed metal to me!
Without evil there could be no good so it must be good to be evil sometimes.

There is quite a few actually, you just need to look...

Like Warrant for example...

You can't base a sub-genre off of lyrics...
