Neither one is Doom Metal, contrary to what some websites, who like to assume that anything played slower than a typical Death Metal band is Doom, seem to say. But, give some of these a try:

  • Warning
  • Solstice
  • Witchfinder General
  • Saint Vitus
  • Cathedral
  • Wytchcraft
  • Runemagick
  • The Wandering Midget
  • Confessor
  • Count Raven
  • Reverend Bizarre

Antestor is a bit unique, not for being a Christian band, but for their more repentant approach to it in their lyrics.. Trouble touches on it somewhat, but tends to be a bit more positive overall... you might like Virgin Black, although they draw more from symphonic and operatic bands than Doom Metal bands. If you just like the general sense of openness towards spirituality, a lot of your 'nu-doom' fans will claim that Doom Metal is supposed to be about sadness, misery, depression, and a bunch of other nonsense, but the truth of the matter is that true Doom Metal has never been a genre 'in league with Satan', and, while there have been a recent outcropping of bands in the genre which do draw on such themes, they tend to be the exception, rather than the rule.

If you just like a more downtempo style of music which gives a nod to Black Metal, you might want to give Deionychus a try.

What's the difference between trash metal and doom metal?

There is no such thing as 'trash' metal (although there are Metal bands [both true and false] which I consider to be utter trash), and what you're thinking of is Thrash Metal.Doom Metal is one of two genres derived directlyfrom Black Sabbath. The pace tends to be slow to mid-tempo, and the genre is known generally for more bleak themes - however, contrary to the opinions of some, this is in no way exclusive. Most so-called subgenres of Doom Metal actually have little to no link to Doom Metal, whatsoever, particularly as far as lineage goes, and simply get dubbed as such because they have a slow pace, which again, is not an exclusive aspect of Doom Metal, nor is it definitive. On the Hellride Music forums, in early 2004, members began to refer to such bands as 'nu-doom', for the lack of correlation with Traditional/true Doom Metal.Thrash Metal, on the other hand, is derived just as much from Hardcore Punk and it is from Metal, and was particularly inspired by the D-Beat style of the Hardcore Punk band Discharge (who some would argue were essentially playing Thrash before there was any such thing), as well as others, such as Broken Bones and GBH. Many Thrash bands have paid testament to this fact, such as Metallica's covers of Discharge songs, Slayer's Undisputed Attitudealbum which was exclusively Hardcore Punk Covers, etc.Thrash Metal came into existence when Metal bands began incorporating the influence of Hardcore Punk into their own style of music, thus, you had Venom (raw, heavy rock), Slayer (who initially sought to emulate Judas Priest), Metallica (NWoBHM knockoffs), Razor (who initially sought to emulate Motorhead), and others combining elements of traditional Heavy Metal with elements of Hardcore Punk to create Thrash Metal.What the previous paragraph is referring to is not Thrash Metal but it was actually called Crossover ( a cross between Metal and Punk) epitomized by bands such as Anthrax and Suicidal Tendencies to name Two of them

What is the specific difference between death metal and doom metal?

The differences are as apparent as night and day. Doom Metal is one of two genres derived directly from Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath, Pentagram (US), Saint Vitus, Cirith Ungol, Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Reverend Bizarre, Solstice.. those are examples of what Doom Metal really is. In the 90s, it became popular to tag anything which happened to be played slower than Megadeth as Doom Metal, leading to the term "nu-doom" being coined by purists to refer to bands which were labeled as Doom Metal, but did not share any common origins with true Doom Metal bands (e.g., My Dying Bride, Anathema, Katatonia, Sunn o))), et. al). Death Metal is derived from Thrash, starting with bands such as Possessed, who essentially strove to create a more raw form of Thrash Metal. In the late 80s and early 90s, Death Metal bands moved away from the Thrash/Death sound, taking influence from the Crust Punk, Powerviolence, and Grindcore bands of the era in order to create an even more basic, raw sound.
