Thanks.
From blackened doom to funeral doom to sludge metal to drone metal to stoner to whatever Om is... doom can go in a million different directions, and each of those directions has something interesting and groundbreaking.
Thrash, while enjoyable, doesn't do that. Thrash is thrash. Sure, it can work in a little black metal, a little death metal, or maybe hardcore punk... but the lines get blurry. At what point is thrash metal no longer thrash metal? Usually when it gets hardcore breakdowns, or screechy vocals and tremolo picking, or death metal vocals. It's narrow.
Here are some examples of doom doing different things very well.
