High tempo and high energy music
Can anybody recommend some high tempo music that I could find on spotify (or might have in my CD collection but not thought of)?

Nothing I've been listening to has quite been right (mostly the mars volta, pendulum, slipknot and SOAD). Mezmerize and Hypnotize by SOAD are the closest I've got to the kind of thing I'm after but there are still too many slow bits and I don't want to keep listening to those on repeat!

I realise that this could be an impossible mission but I'm not too fussed about genre if that helps.

Genres?
Just after rock/metal stuff? How about Strapping Young Lad, Atari Teenage Riot, Slayer?

Edit: Just read the last bit. Sadly Spotify doesn't have much/anything in the range of industrial hardcore stuff, but that always gets my pulse going. Stuff like Endymion, Armageddon Project, Tieum, Moleculez.

Oooh
Slayer is a good choice.

If you're after an entire album of good songs, The Distillers Coral Fang is pretty nifty, if you're into that sort of thing!?

are pretty cool too. Try Perfect Pitch Black or Antenna, they're good albums.

Nicely done!
Cave In are great!
( Cawl, Mon 15 Jun 2009, 12:20, Reply)

I love them.
They opened for the Foos a few years ago and got booed off the stage. I really liked them and sent the lead singer an email saying I wasn't one of the booers and I really liked their music and he sent me the Tides of Tomorrow EP in the post. :)

I got really into them after they released Antenna.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Mon 15 Jun 2009, 12:25, Reply)

Awh, that's awesome!
I saw them... I don't remember when or where, but they opened with Stained Silver, and it was amazing!
( Cawl, Mon 15 Jun 2009, 12:36, Reply)

Thats a wicked song...
and the opening track on the Antenna album. I really rate them because each time they release a new album they change their sound completely so you never know what to expect from them. That’s the same reason I rate Saves the Day, completely different sound but they also aren't afraid to try something new. :)

Not too fussed about genre
My tastes are broad enough that I wont say no to anything so long as it's fast enough :)

There's no strapping young lad on spotify, Atari teenage riot seem to mostly be too slow.

Hadn't thought of slayer, trying out pantera at the moment which isn't too bad so I'll listen to some slayer after that.

*not sure if this counts*
Some of The Offspring seems high tempo, and they are the greatest rock band to come out of the states.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 15 Jun 2009, 11:57, Reply)

Ohh, Bone Thugs, some of their stuff is fast, but not my cup of tea.
Linkin Park has some good stuff.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 15 Jun 2009, 12:18, Reply)

Linkin Park are too slow :(
The offspring would probably be good though. Will listen to them later.

You said you weren't too fussed about genre,

(You may not wish to take the advice of someone who doesn't recognise the sounds of today's popular youth bands though.)

Edit:
also - Afghan Whigs in their rock-y stage; The Wildhearts "Earth vs. The Wildhearts"; Stiff Little Fingers.

I saw them about 6 times in the early days, from tiny wee venues to the Ulster Hall and some festival that I can't remember. Then they released Infernal Love and it all went to shit.

Yeah, but not for Hyde Park.
Just an arena thing. Can't wait. You might get a ticket if you look... I love Camera Obscura. They have that wall-of-sound thing going on most of the time, all symphonic and Phil Spector-ish. Like a poppier B&S I suppose.

I mean, who realy wants to know how someone you went to school with is doing 5 years on? Apart from 2 or 3 good friends I honestly don't think I'd recognise half the people that I went to school with, let alone want to be friends with them or find out how they're doing or whatever.

( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Mon 15 Jun 2009, 13:40, Reply)

Based on what's been recommended so far:
Tricore might fit the bill. Not signed or anything, though I believe they managed to get their first EP uploaded to iTunes. I only heard of them when I was doing calibration down in Teddington where the bassist works as a lab tech by day. One of those who, although I'm not really into that kind of music, sound like they're good at what they do.

Alternatively, if you want the best in pan-genre omni-rock, I share an office with the drummer from Todger. Upbeat phallo-centric rock which has got to be worth a listen.
