yes, doom is slower and heavier, stuff like cathedral, moss, sleep, nadja, earth, obsessed, generally speaking doom is an expansion on black sabbath's stuff.
generally speaking black metal is faster, not as sonically heavy, more frequently it has buzzy guitar sounds, lyrical themes tend to focus around satanism/paganism, war, nature, suffering. not much of an easily detecable sabbath sound, most black metal sounds more like punk than what people would typically associated with metal, vocals tend to be shrieked.
