Partly the reason yes.
But musically speaking Speed metal is the bridge between Heavy metal/NWOBHM (New wave of British Heavy Metal) and Thrash metal. Speed Metal is more technical and melodic than thrash, while being faster and utilizing harsher vocals than heavy metal. If you listen to a band like Iron Maiden (Heavy), then Exciter (Speed) and then finally to something like Slayer (Thrash) you will notice a distinct difference between the three bands and the type of music they play.
