The list continues... day four

As always, the original list I made of some of my favorite bands from these genres can be found here... http://truestofthetrue.blogspot.com/2010/04/big-list-of-traditional-speed-and-power.html



Angel Dust
Genre: Speed/Thrash
From: Germany
Formed in 1984
Albums to check out- *Into the Dark Past*, To Dust You Will Decay
Notes: Later reformed as a modern melodic power metal band. Their first two albums are quite rare and pretty pricey.


Cauldron Born
Genre: Power
From: United States
Formed in 1994
Albums to check out- Born of the Cauldron
Notes: Their vocalist and style changed on their second album, which is not as good as their first in my opinion.

Albums to check out- Killing the World
Notes: Created by members of the band Tröjan

Griffin
