Which metal is better: thrash or doom?

Texas Boy · 10-29-2018, 07:35 AM

For me it's doom metal all the way.
I always found thrash metal to be a bit generic and overrated as a subgenre of metal, although I dig some stuff. And doom metal is totally underrated and overlooked and it derserves much more attention from metal fans.

What you say?

I don't listen to any doom metal except Cathedral, so it's gonna have to be thrash.

I agree thrash is overrated and usually generic, but I can't exactly say that doom metal bands tend to light my fire either.

Doom because I smoke weed.

Both are good and bad in their own way.

I listen to more doom but thrash was the foundation of my entire interest in metal in the first place so it’s hard to pick one.

I love both genres, but I have to go doom. It’s more flexible, and right now there are SO many options for doom albums. They can easily fuse with other genres for something new and exciting. I love thrash, but it doesn’t really do that well.

Thrash, best genre hands down.

I know there's a lot of people who think it can get really generic, but I really don't give a sh**. With few exceptions, I've yet to find a thrash band that doesn't get me pumped or not sound awesome in some way.

Both genres are damn good even in the middle of the pack.

I don't know, I kinda feel like thrash metal is only good when it's the absolute elite of the genre. There are other genres where I can enjoy meat and potatoes bands, but not thrash.
