Thrash Metal vs. Death Metal

I like Thrash metal more.

Thrash Metal and Power Metal are the two best genres of music IMO. I make a special exception for Nightwish though, because they're awesome like that :POPRFWrestler112

Considering Death Metal is an offshoot of Thrash Metal, but because I'm currently listening to Death Metal right now...

Neither. Folk Metal rules ALL. http://youtube.com/watch?v=iijKLHCQw5ohoola

In agreement

But for this thread's purposes, death metal

I view them more as symphonic-goth-power-metal :P At least when Tarja was around :|

I didn't know there was a difference.sonicare

Thrash Metal, Death Metal

the way i think of it, is Death Metal is like Thrash except with growled vocals, and more technicallity

yeah, with Annete they're Symphonic Rock at best

I love death metal so much more even though Kreator happen to be one of my favorite bands. Although they were part of one of the heaviest thrash scenes so it sorta makes sense:P

They're really similar, tehcnically, and even vocally sometimes (Sepultura, anyone?). In the end I'd have to say Death Metal, since Melodeath has TONS of virtuostic bands. Thrash is also only known for like 3 bands. Megadeth, Mettalica, and Kreator.kylekatarn10

You spelled Metallica wrong :evil:

:|Thrash isn't known for Kreator. You mean Slayer I'm guessing.

"Other," meaning Classic Metal.

I forgot Slayer, but actually that isn't what I meant. I mean supposedly the "3 Big Thrash Pioneers" were Destruction, Sodom, and Kreator. Since I personally really dislike Sodom, and don't even own a Destruction CD, that leaves Kreator. About 50% of my school loves the band, but when I mention any other Thrash band (I think the one I mentioned was Anthrax), they're like "lol wut?". Anyways, that's what I meant.

Could anyone please tell me whats the difference?marcocat

Thrash: Clean vocals, with fast, complicated guitar and equally hard to play drum beats. Usually long songs(6-11 minutes!) Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Testament.

Death:Same musical style, but with more grunting and growling. I don't really listen to Death, so i can't name any bands.

I was not aware of this "3 Big Thrash Pioneers" label. Only that they were the big 3 of the teutonic thrash scene.

Thrash metal, Fun fact : death metal is the only metal subgenre I can't get into but I guess that's what happends when you attack a guitar with a cheese grater. :P Siofen

If you can't get into death metal I'm surprised you can get into black metal.

I do know that I don't like the "emo" style.DisabledMess

Why does that surpise you? Black Metal is (or atleast was for me) , a lot easier on the ears. Especially Symphonic Black...
