Demolition hammer averages 200 bpm+ at least.


That's still normal, it would have to be +260 to be really exceptional. I can't think of that many bands besides Fastkill or Origin that can compete. Ofcourse you could play in quarter notes at 300 bpm like many do, but that doesn't really count. Similarly you could play in sixteenth notes at 150 bpm, it depends on what the OP means with "fast". Is it number of notes hit per minute? Beats per minute? Drums or guitar? Etc. We need more information to give the OP what he wants, because bpm alone certainly doesn't cut it.

For example, "Ram It Down" by priest is actually 300 bpm, but the drums aren't playing each click.


What? Ram It Down is around 200-220, max.


I counted Ram it Down's snare beat for a minute and it seems to be around 140-150bpm. Not so fast at all.

It can be hard to judge the speed of Judas Priest songs (especially from the Scott Travis era), since the timing gets a bit ambiguous. I used to think that Painkiller was 220bpm, but then I realised that the beat isn't split and it's only 110bpm (like Ram it Down, the beat is counted on each snare hit).

The all-time fastest Judas Priest song seems to be Jugulator. Most of the song is 120bpm, but there are patches here and there where the tempo doubles and Scott Travis blasts out double bass at 240bpm. (Listen to "Iron claws, fangs of steel" etc).


I don't know but I used a guitar pro of it, and at 300 it sounded right. But it could be at half speed, but it only seemed to sound right at 300 but that might've been because it's guitar pro.:scratch:

Judging only by something that would be deemed remotly metal and has all real instrumentation I would say hands down Last Days of Humanity - Putrefaction in Progress. I used to talk to Marc Palmen (the drummer) he was a crazy individual, check out his band Urine Festival really sick.

However my friend listens to all different kinds of music including alot of terrorcore and speedcore, and I have to say some of the speedcore he used to listen raped LDOH.

Only speedcore is real.


Yup. Did the OP mean in metal or in general? If it's the whole sphere of music, metal isn't the fastest by a long shot. Extratone is a step above speedcore. It's 1000+ bpm music.. I don't know of anything faster than extratone.

Extratone, jesus that's fast. It'd be the fastest one if it was actually music. Sounds more like a machine gun recording on Atari.
