Doom Metal

Doom Metal is a genre that thrives on heavy, slow tempos and thick, crushing guitar riffs, evoking a sense of impending doom and melancholy. Emerging in the late 1960s and early 1970s with bands like Black Sabbath, it draws on the dark, atmospheric elements of early heavy metal and blues rock. Lyrically, it often explores themes of despair and existential dread, delivering a cathartic experience through its somber, immersive soundscapes.
