If you don't mind the satanism and the deaths and murders and the pig heads and the cannibalism and the sadism and masocism that Mayhem is known for  , their debut "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" is a pretty strong BM effort.

Slayer is thrash metal. I wouldn't consider them death metal. IMO, Paul Bostaph (the 2nd drummer of Slayer) was better than Dave Lombardo. Although Dave was good Paul seems more technical.
Recently I've been into Fear Factory. I may be wrong, and probably am, but I think it's progressive like. Anyone have anything to say on that?

IMO Fear Factory is quite proggy!!!
Archetype is a great album! 2 bad its callled industrial metal

That album is excellent, but I would advise limiting Mayhem to that album alone. The others (what I've heard) are terrible...

For SLOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW doom metal I suggest you to check Reverend Bizarre from Finland.  Their album"In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend" is pretty good and even has a 21-minute HUGE doom metal epic!  (Along with a few shorter ones and two 13-minute monsters)

Actually, I'm more like a metalhead than a progger, my musical taste is much closer to heavy metal than to the prog mammoths. I'd like to mention some classic metal albums mostly from the technical speed/thrash genre
Mekong Delta - Dances of Death, Kaleidoscope
Forbidden - Forbidden Evil, Distortion
Voivod - Dimension Hatröss, Nothingface
Testament - The Gathering
Dyoxen - First Among Equals
Toxik - World Circus, Think This
Realm - Endless War, Suiciety
Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence, Act III
Annihilator - Alice In Hell, Never Neverland
Agent Steel - Omega Conspiracy, Order of the Illuminati
Coroner - Mental Vortex
Mercyful Fate - Melissa, Don't Berak The Oath
Atheist - Piece of Time, Unquestionable Presence, Elements
Death - Human, Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic, The Sound of Perseverance
"I know many obscure metal bands, that's true. But I'm not really an expert on Thrash, because during the time when Thrash had it's peak as a genre, I was already onto something else - Prog Metal. "
To Mike: I'm 28, so I have also missed the peak of thrash in the late 80s. The same happened to me, discovered bands such as Rush and Images and Words from a then-new band called Dream Theater and these discoveries completly changed my musical taste. But later I have recognized that the diversity is one of the most importat thing in music and I started to collect things from distinct thrash bands and also some CDs from hair metal bands.
Now I can listen Enchant, Forbidden, Shark Island, Winger, Death, Rush, Mezarkabul/Pentagram, Bruce Dickinson, Candlemass and Ephel Duath in quick succession.

Out of the nine you've listed I've heard, I love six of them and like another. Great stuff!

One man project Burzum is worth checking out! "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" is a VERY, VERY good album, mainly instrumental. This music is also called ambient black-metal, the synths play a vital part in the overall sound and the tempo is not very fast. Also the riffs are pretty repetitive and very hypnotizingly catchy. The vocals are extremely brutal shrieks. "Filosofem" is also worth your time.
Quite a mythical person this Varg Vikerners. He's the one every BM fan likes to talk crap about.

I find the whole image-based black metal scene more ridiculous than
amusing. Ulver's first albums stand out as the sole bm I really
enjoy.
Some death metal bands find their way to my ears every now and then,
Here's a selection:
Ajattara, mainly for the finnish growls
At The Gates, the fathers of melodic death/thrash
Cannibal Corpse, you know who I'm talking about.
Carcass, Former grindcore, later albums towards melodic death.
Cryptopsy, insane tech-death.
The Forsaken, good oldskool death
Nile, as above

Trash is not thrash....jajajaj!
I like much more extreme thrash than tharash...Kreator, Slayer and
Sodom. From black I like Emperor, Satyricon and some others. Im now
being introduced in death...and bands I like from xtreme are :
Graveworm, Dark Lunacy (with violin), Stormlord, Into Eternity, Edge of
Sanity, bloodbath, death, opeth,nile Zyklon and Lunaris...
For years ive been a lot in power. But now m very tired of double bass
horse running or epic kings and knights melodies. All the lyrics
telling the same...
Maybe someone youd like my favourite band (:D) : Stravaganzza from
spain...a extrange mixture of metal...from black to prog, with doom and
death and a great drummer. The singer and the drummer are the same as
in saratoga. They only have 2 albums but theyre f**king great!!!
Bye guys
