Thrash metal vs NWOBHM/Traditional Heavy metal?

How about grindcore and doom and sometimes indie, shoegaze, dreampop and gabber?

Fuck heavy metal.

 

Doom is where its at, any Electric Wizard fans ?

 

Here!

 

Heavy metal sounds chessy as fuck in my , Black veil brides make me cringe internally

 

Industrial and Black metal is where it's at.

 

Shoegaze is, like, the best thing ever.

 

Thrash is really flexible genre. So flexible, Death and Black derived from it. Mostly Kreator blamed for showing it in the 90s and it's really biased blame. And progressive thrash doesn't take most of your time to for great complex song, they're mostly 3-4 minutes long while Dream Threatre and other most mainstream 'progressive metal "bands"' not only shit but boring shit.

 

Thrash was in a way heavy influenced by NWOBHM.

Slayer's best disc (for me haha) "Show no mercy" is a proof of beeing heavy influenced by Iron Maiden.


I am more in the road of Thrash and future derivations of the genre, but I consider both to be very very influencing subgenres.

 

It's not even a genre, just a word for unification of all these new heavy metal bands from england formed in late 70s. They both brought a lot from Punk Rock though.

 

Well indeed... but it represents a set with common characteristics. Punk influenced Metal... or backwards

 

It's all boils down to Heavy vs Thrash anyway.

 

Russian, Teutonic Thrash pretty much. And progressive thrash regardless of origin.
Heavy Metal just not my thing. Especially "Iron Maiden" one with it's 9-20 minutes operas of repeated riffs. The one exception and really enjoyable one is Judas Priest.
