Top 10 Very Fast Metal Songs with Clean Melodic Vocals
NO death, black and thrash metal here because:- death and black metal vocals aren't clean
- thrash metal vocals aren't melodic, they are rough: thrash singers either spit the words or snarl because it's difficult to sing "normally" on such fast songs.
However, some singers are able to sing melodically even on very fast songs - songs that are sometimes faster than thrash songs.
Typical fast subgenres with Clean Melodic Vocals are: speed metal, power metal, traditional metal, heavy metal, folk metal, symphonic metal.
Speed metal - it's not every fast song from any metal subgenre. Speed metal is very close power metal and has specific features.
I decided to put this song at #1. It's not the fastest song on this list, it's not even the fastest Iron Maiden song but I guess it was very influential. And it's awesome.
Yeah it has a clean voice
It's very fast and it's 7:30 minutes long, with only 2 short sections that are slower (10 seconds each). Guitars, vocals and drums are very fast (the drummer was only 17 years old).
Chorus, riffs and solo are amazing. Hansi voice is so pleasantly aggressive and raw on this song.
This is one of my most favorite Iron Maiden songs and I think it's kinda underrated among the Maiden songs. Great speed, energy, vocals... PS. When I made this list long ago, the song wasn't in the top 10 Best Iron Maiden Songs
In the early 80s Metallica was an opening act for these guys.
The solo and drum fills are great.
While it has some very fast sections, it's not extremely fast all the time
Metal Meltdown is faster
No clean vocals in this
Pretty fast for its time.
