Slayer vs Metallica

This is tough but I really think it comes down to variety and in all honesty, Metallica FTW in that department.

Metallica is one of the most varied bands I've ever heard, and the variety found on their albums has been true from their very first album. Their length of their songs is all over the place from the 9:46 ...And Justice For All to the 3:08 Motorbreath.

For Slayer, the variety is...just lacking at some points. South of Heaven was of course different from Hell Awaits and Reign In Blood, but I still consider Show No Mercy to be most the group's most varied (and underrated) album when they were still mingling on the outskirts of high-speed, agressive thrash metal, and the result was a mixture of both.

Going to have to go with Slayer, even though I really like Metallica especially because they're the band that got me into thrash metal in the first place. However, Slayer pretty much took it to the next level with the darker theme that Slayer has with the majority of its songs, which adds a lot to them.
