Is Doom Metal an Original Metal Genre or not?

I was at a persian metal blog 2 mounths ago, I entered to Doom Metal thread and saw a post which was saying:
"Doom Metal is not an Original Metal Genre and it came through Heavy Metal by Black Sabbath"
we talked a lot about this, my opinion was that Doom Metal is an original genre, but the lady who was talkin with me tried to convince me that its not and her reasons were that we cant find any 2 doom metal bands which sounds the same! and her other reason was that, "why every subgenres of doom metal has a suffix or prefix such as black doom, death doom ... etc.
I said to her, that I'll open a poll here at Metal Storm for enlighten this topic.
Edited: The other thing which we talked about it much, was that she and her friends were saying that: "Traditional Doom is not a original one cause its coming through the heart of NWOBHM and Heavy Metal itself", they tried to convince me that Traditional is mixed with Doom

"Sorry, buddy, you got a 99% on your Accounting 210 test, 20% better than the next guy in the class. But you got one wrong, so YOU FAIL! 100% WRONG! 0%!"

What a stupid question, maybe the subgenre with the most differences from the others, and so unique

Written by [user id=42258] on 25.07.2009 at 02:52 Like bittercold said it kinda started with Black Sabbath. It started with clean vocals with band such as Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Trouble, Candlemass and only later started to crossover with death metal (think My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Anathema, Winter etc.)

I find doom metal (at least those i have listened from it) to be quite specific and unique...

Well, I heard many doom bands in my life, and I also think this genre is unique enough to say it's original. But if you examine this from another side, like: When did the bands/journalists begin to say "Doom" instead of "Heavy"? So we could say the origin was the heavy metal but doom metal developed itself as a different music style through many years. So maybe it's not and original genre, because it has its roots, but also heavily unique to say it's original. I don't know. PS: What is doom metal in Black Sabbath? I always thought as heavy metal about it.

I simply can't get my head around her argument - but never mind: I think that doom (of course) is a original genre. Nuff said.

I do believe so, it is slower and heavier than many other genres of metal and therefore makes it a distinct and unique genre.

 What kind of a question is that? By that logic the entire metal genre is unoriginal if we are speaking of Black Sabbath as an influence. Rubbish. All music has its inspirations and the doom genre you have today is clearly something of a distinct sound to the kind of music Black Sabbath were playing, not to mention the various forms it has developed into.

Written by Bad English on 24.08.2013 at 14:52 I believe your best bet would be http://www.doommantia.com/, since they seem to be on top of things. However, I also know the admins of that site were homeless for a little while, so I can't be too sure how up-to-date it is.
