I'm gonna go with a slightly unconventional answer...

Jerry Lee Lewis' "Live at the Star Club, Hamburg" isn't literally the fastest stuff I've ever heard. But every single song on that album (Minus the ballad "Your Cheating Heart") is a rock n' roll classic that sounds like Jerry singing over a 50's version of Pig Destroyer as his backing band. The real band was the Nashville Teens, so props to them for keeping up.

I would post the link if I could... but I'm a newbie, so yeah

I think it easy to nominate Grindcore bands because of the BPM of the drum tracks but I am pretty sure this is not necessarily what Janszoon is looking for.

As whole albums keeping up a frenetic pace I will suggest these:

Kreator - Pleasure To Kill (virtually all tracks at breakneck speed but the band do keep up with the drummer for once!)
Ramones - It's Alive ( a 28 track double live album clocking in at under an hour and doesn't really let up in that time)
Slayer - Reign In Blood (obviously)
The Residents - The Third Reich And Roll / The Avalanches - Since You Left Me (both pack in an insane amount of samples in a relatively short time).
Turing Machine - Zwei (it's like Can multiplied by 100 in terms of notes crammed into each track).
Giraffes? Giraffes! - More Skin With Milk Mouth ( Math Rock played by speed freaks).
